Glee Star Naya Rivera Presumed Drowned, Authorities Say

Authorities have revealed that they presume Glee star Naya Rivera drowned in a tragic 'accident'.

A massive land, underwater and air search has resumed at California's Lake Piru for the 33-year-old after her young son was found on a boat alone.

The four-year-old has told authorities that his mum went for a swim and never came back.

Ventura County Sheriff's Department Deputy Chris Dyer said at a press conference: "We are presuming that an accident happened and we are presuming that she drowned in the lake.

"The goal is still to bring Ms. Rivera home to her family so they can have some closure."

The actor had rented the boat on Wednesday afternoon and the alarm was sounded when the rental company discovered the vessel was overdue.
