Naya Rivera’s body found in California lake, police confirm | FULL
Body Found in Search of Lake Piru for ‘Glee’ Star Naya Rivera
A
body was found Monday at a Southern California lake during the search for
“Glee” star Naya Rivera, authorities said.
The
body was discovered five days after the 33-year-old Rivera disappeared on Lake
Piru, where her son was found July 8 alone a few hours later on a boat the two
had rented, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said.
Authorities
would not immediately say if the person found was Rivera, but said the day
after she disappeared that they believed she drowned in the lake northwest of
Los Angeles. A 2 p.m. press conference was scheduled.
Search
crews found the body floating in the northeast area of the lake and the county
medical examiner was notified, authorities said.
The
lake an hour’s drive from Los Angeles was searched by dozens of divers working
in waters with little visibility, with help above from helicopters, drones and
all-terrain vehicles.
Rivera
played singing cheerleader Santana Lopez for six seasons on the Fox
musical-comedy “Glee.”
If
she is declared dead, she will become the third major cast member from the show
to die in their 30s.
And
co-star Mark Salling, who Rivera dated at one point, killed himself in 2018 at
age 35 after pleading guilty to child pornography charges.
Rivera
had experience boating on the lake in Los Padres National Forest, authorities
said.
Surveillance
video shows Rivera and her son, Josey Hollis Dorsey, leaving on the rented
boat.
When
the boat failed to return, its vendor found the vessel drifting in the northern
end of the lake late Wednesday afternoon with the boy asleep on board. He told
investigators that he and his mother had been swimming and he got back into the
boat but she didn’t, according to a sheriff’s office statement.
The
boy was wearing a life vest, and another life jacket was found in the boat
along with Rivera’s purse and identification.
Rivera
is believed to have drowned “in what appears to be a tragic accident,” the
statement said.
The
boy, Rivera’s son from her marriage to actor Ryan Dorsey, was safe and healthy
and with family members, authorities said. The couple finalized their divorce
in June 2018 after nearly four years of marriage.
The
most recent tweet on Rivera’s account, from July 7, read “just the two of us”
along with a photo of her and her son.
Police Confirms
"Glee"
star Naya Rivera‘s body was found by authorities on Monday morning, the Ventura
County Sheriff’s Office confirmed in an afternoon press conference.
Ventura
County Sheriff Bill Ayub told reporters that based on the location, physical
characteristics, clothing and physical condition of the body, they "are
confident the body we found is that of Naya Rivera."
Ayub
stated that detectives from their major crimes bureau working on the case said
that there was "no indication of foul play, and no indication that this
was a suicide."
Diving
teams and law enforcement had been searching the waters of California’s Lake
Piru, which is approximately 90 kilometres northwest of downtown Los Angeles,
for five days.
According
to the sheriff’s office, Rivera rented a pontoon boat at about 1 p.m. Wednesday
for herself and her young son to take out onto Lake Piru.
Workers
who had rented her the boat found her child sleeping in the boat by himself.
Police
say they spoke with her son who provided enough information for investigators
to conclude that "his mother never made it out of the water."
