Hollywood actress and singer Naya Rivera, best known for her role on the television series Glee, has been reported “missing” after possibly drowning in a California lake, police said late Wednesday.
After hours of searching the lake with no sign of Rivera, The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said the search would resume at first light Thursday morning and identified Rivera, 33, as the person reported missing in Lake Piru, which lies roughly an hour northwest of Los Angeles.
Local media in the States reported that Rivera rented a boat Wednesday afternoon with her four-year-old son. Hours later, the boy was found in the boat by himself.
It was also reported that the boy told investigators he and his mom (Rivera) had been swimming, but she couldn’t get back in the boat.
Naya Rivera rose to stardom in the role of cheerleader Santana Lopez in Glee, whom she played throughout the show’s run between 2009 and 2015. She later launched a singing career while continuing as an actress.
