Actress Naya Rivera is missing and presumed to have drowned after her 4-year-old son was found adrift on a boat in Lake Piru in Ventura County in Southern California Wednesday, officials said.
The 33 year old rented a pontoon boat on Wednesday at the Lake Piru reservoir.
Deputies received a call of a child found alone on a boat in the lake around 6 p.m., said Cpt. Eric Buschow of the Ventura County Sheriff's Office. The boy was adrift for about three hours until someone on another boat found him and notified authorities, officials at the scene said according to international website Khon2.
A search and rescue dive team searched the lake and the area surrounding the lake as they were unable to locate the child's parents, officials said.
Sheriff's officials later said the missing person is Glee actress Naya Rivera, 33, and she is presumed to be dead.
Rivera best known for playing Santana Lopez in the musical comedy Glee married actor Ryan Dorsey in 2014. The couple divorced in 2018 and had joint custody of their son.
