Investigators believe 'Glee' star Naya Rivera drowned in a tragic accident after renting boat with son
on a Southern California lake Wednesday, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office.
By about 12 p.m. EDT Thursday, the effort to find Rivera had transitioned to a search and recovery effort. About 100 people were taking part in operations to find her body. By 11:30 a.m., four dive boats were out scouring the northern shoreline and two helicopters hovered above in an area of Lake Piru called Juan Fernandez Spring, with divers experiencing less than one foot of visibility in the water in daylight.
Drownings do happen at the lake from time to time, Dyer said."It's not so often because the lake has been low so that has affected attendance," he said."When the lake is higher and it's hotter at the lake, drownings do happen."The actress arrived at Lake Piru in Ventura County, about 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles, around 1 p.m. Wednesday and rented a boat with her 4-year-old son, said Buschow.
The actress was engaged to rapper Big Sean in 2013, but their relationship ended a year later. The pair met on Twitter and collaborated musically, with the rapper appearing on Rivera’s debut single “Sorry.” The day before she went missing, Rivera posted a picture on Instagram embracing her son with the caption,"Just the two of us."
