Former 'Glee' actress Naya Rivera presumed dead after boating in Lake Piru - FOX 11 Los Angeles

- The Ventura County Sheriff's Department said Thursday the search for mother, actress, singer, and author Naya Rivera is now a recovery mission and that she is presumed dead.

She was presumed drowned after her four-year-old son was found alone on a boat in Lake Piru.

The lake was closed to the public as authorities continued to search for her. Thursday’s team also included the Ventura County Fire Department and assistance from the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Nearly four hours later when her three-hour rental time expired, another boater spotted the rented pontoon boat drifting in the water in an area called “The Narrows” located on the north end of the lake.

Ventura County officials launched a full-scale search and rescue operation at the lake with members of Ventura County Dive Teams.
