Glee star Naya Rivera is missing after her 4-year-old son was found alone and adrift on a boat in Lake Piru, California on Wednesday.
According to KTLA5, sheriffs officials confirmed that the missing woman was 33-year-old Rivera, who is now presumed dead.
Authorities were alerted to Rivera’s disappearance after they received a call about a child who was seen alone on a boat at around 6pm on Wednesday night.
After rescuing the boy, a search and rescue dive team was deployed to search the lake for the child’s parents, however the team have, so far, been unsuccessful.
According to the Ventura County Sheriff department, authorities are searching for a potential drowning victim.
