RIP Naya Rivera

[MB.]

Actress Naya Rivera was presumed dead after her unaccompanied 4-year-old son was found floating on a boat on Lake Piru in Ventura County Wednesday, authorities said.

The Ventura County Sheriff's Department said it responded to a report of the toddler alone on a boat around 4:48 p.m. Officers on scene found the child, but no information was immediately released about the child's condition.

A dive team and air unit were deployed in response, the VCSD said.

The department was investigating a possible drowning associated with the child.

The actress and singer went swimming and the boy got back into the boat but the mother did not, the sheriff's department said. The boy had a life vest but the mother did not, officials said.

Divers were searching for the mother of the 4-year-old, who was found alone in a pontoon boat about three hours after it was rented.

oh no :(

[Ammi]

...oh Lord..:sad:...and her son was with her, he’s okay though...just awful...

[Ninastar]

I was about to fall asleep and checked the internet before bed...

I feel sick. I absolutely ****ing loved her growing up. She was a huge part of me coming to terms with my sexuality

I’m shaking and hoping she’s alive and this isn’t some sort of stunt or something g

...strangely, my thoughts went straight to you because when I first started to post here...?...you were Naya and Claudia was Heather...(...you know what I mean, I didn’t actually think you were them but........)...

[Ammi]

...does it feel sometimes as though Glee is a bit ‘jinxed’ with its cast...

RIP Naya :( :(

another one of Glee gone way too soon :bawling:

****

...I know it was..:hug:...don’t feel dumb, it’s anything but dumb to feel the sadness you’re feeling right now when she felt such a part of your growing and understandings of yourself...:hug:...there are people I feel exactly the same about...

[Firewire]

Heartbreaking.

I’m in shock.

[Tony Montana]

This is truly heartbreaking.

I pray she’s found alive and well. :fc:

[Strictly Jake]

...does it feel sometimes as though Glee is a bit ‘jinxed’ with its cast...

Yeah! I thought this too

[Liam-]

Omg :(

[Nicky91]

one thing i do not understand, why didn't she wear a life vest herself, while her son had a life vest

and isn't this what you'd normally think about first of all, also to wear a life vest yourself when ur at the water

[Vanessa]

Same, I don't understand why she wasn't wearing a vest.
When her son was wearing one :shrug:

God this is awful, I hope she’s found alive

Omg :sad:

[Niamh.]

Oh that's awful, her poor son as well, he must have been terrified when she disappeared

[AnnieK]

Same, I don't understand why she wasn't wearing a vest.
When her son was wearing one :shrug:

She probably thought as a strong swimmer she wouldn't need one.

Hoping she is found safe. So heartbreaking for her son and family.

[Niamh.]

Yeah I wouldn't wear a life jacket if I was going swimming

[Smithy]

Especially in a lake where there isn’t really a current

[Samm]

I think pretty much any adult wouldn't think twice about not wearing a vest and put one on your son though, what's there not to understand.

Hope she's found safe and well.

[Amy Jade]

That is awful, I hope she's somehow found. What a horrible situation!

[Shaun]

I may be wrong but honestly I'd assume this is some kind of suicide.

1280626721146826752

Her last tweet seems very ominous in retrospect, and I can't help but wonder if she originally wanted to "take" him with her but then had some last-minute change of heart before doing it and leaving him on the boat.

I don't know, this is obviously all conjecture, but... I don't see how "I left my 4 year old on the boat and went for a swim without the lifejacket and accidentally got swept away" happens. All I know is that if she was indeed depressed, and suicidal, thank god she had some (last-minute) clarity and spared her son.

(Obviously I apologise if it does turn out to be a massive freak accident, it just... makes more sense to me that this is what's transpired)

[caprimint]

I may be wrong but honestly I'd assume this is some kind of suicide.
Tbh this was my first thought too

Such a sad situation though and I hope she's found :sad:

[Amy Jade]

Not sure about the suicide theory, wasn't one of her last posts on twitter about a new book?

I doubt someone considering ending their life would ask a fan what they'd like to see her write about.

[Smithy]

Her cover of If I Die Young is the top result for the glee cast on AM now :(

[Denver]

Her son said Mummy jumped in the water and didn't come back up

[Cherie]

Poor kid, would you put a life vest on a child you were going to drown :shrug:

and would you take him with you to your suicide, he would be damaged forever, I would imagine its a tragic accident

[Niamh.]

Yeah i think so too

[Saph]

if she had of drowned, wouldn't the body have resurfaced pretty quickly?

[Denver]

if she had of drowned, wouldn't the body have resurfaced pretty quickly?

Not really, she could have been originally caught on something that stopped her resurfacing

[Niamh.]

if she had of drowned, wouldn't the body have resurfaced pretty quickly?

Only after about a week apparently

[GoldHeart]

...does it feel sometimes as though Glee is a bit ‘jinxed’ with its cast...

I didn't want to say it , but yeah this sounds awful and strange .

[GoldHeart]

Not sure about the suicide theory, wasn't one of her last posts on twitter about a new book?

I doubt someone considering ending their life would ask a fan what they'd like to see her write about.

Was it definitely just her and her son on this boat ?, I'm wondering if someone else is involved . just seems very strange :puzzled: .

[Braden]

God, what awful news.

I do hope she's found safe, but it doesn't look good whatsoever.

[UserSince2005]

So sad, I've always liked her since Glee, and shes been on Rupauls Drag Race once or twice.

Suicide seems the logical conclusion to all this.
You wouldn't jump off a boat to go for a swim leaving your 4 year old son alone if you were in any sane mind.

It is rather strange that her son says she went for a swim and then he went to sleep but I guess he is only 4.

The only other explanation would be she slipped or even pushed off by the son, presumably playfully.
Hopefully he can give a better explanation to what happened in the coming days.

Either way I know from experience that once you are off a pontoon boat they are very hard to get back on to unless you have a ladder, which I haven't seen on pictures of the boat.

So sad.

Ever since they banned me 6 months ago it ain't been nothing but bad news in the world. Now I'm back hopefully things will get better.

[Ninastar]

I thought suicide when I first found out she was missing. But idk if she would do that in front of her son. Unless she was planning on taking him with her... but maybe she realised how much she couldn’t do that, felt so much shame and swam away so he didn’t have to see it...

Idk man, I have so many questions and I’m so confused and upset

I know from personal experience that when you’re about to commit suicide, your brain is in a frenzy... you are 100% not all there and you make crazy decisions.

This whole thing is ****ed up

[Dogeatdog]

This is awful, I hope she is found safe and well and that it isn’t a suicide or some type of freak accident. I feel so sorry for both her and her child :(

[Barry.]

So sad. Hope she is alive :(.

[LukeB]

I can't stop thinking about this

Such sad news, i was a big fan of her on Glee! i know the chances are low but i really hope she's alive and safe.

[Marsh.]

Bloody hell, what is it with this show?

[Josiah.]

Officials are now saying that her body may never be found in Lake Piru, due to the lake's low visibility..

[UserSince2005]

i dont get it. dont dead bodies float in water?

[rusticgal]

You surely wouldn’t leave your 4 year old on a boat alone...life jacket or not. It must have been an accident and she’s fallen...it’s not looking good for her.

[arista]

But the lad told the Police
"mummy jumped in"

[arista]

i dont get it. dont dead bodies float in water?


Yes but its a massive lake

[UserSince2005]

They need to find her soon or the conspiracy theories will ensue.

[Firewire]

i dont get it. dont dead bodies float in water?

They sink and resurface, but can take about a week

[Josiah.]

They've said that because there are remains of trees at the bottom of the lake, that the body could be stuck.

[rusticgal]

But the lad told the Police
"mummy jumped in"


Maybe being so young he could have mistaken a fall for a jump..:shrug:

[Ammi]

...it doesn't feel like a suicide to me, it feels like a terrible accident...that she either hit her head or became entangled by something and couldn’t surface...it’s just so, so sad...and to see them both arriving at the lake on the CCTV, just a carefree day out for them to spend time together...:sad:...I hope her body is found...

[GoldHeart]

We're literally waiting for the inevitable , sadly non of this is looking good . whole thing is sad and bizarre .

[Nicky91]

then it is waiting until one week has passed, if she resurfaces we know she's dead

[UserSince2005]

Why would she leave the boat to go for a swim with the child by himself. Surely she wouldnt have thought oh ill just go for a swim whilst you have a nap.

Also don't understand how you could be entangled in tree at the bottom of a lake. If i was ever swimming a large body of water and felt anything brush against me I'd be straight out of there, not somehow get entangled by it.

Maybe they were both going to have a swim but he didn’t want to, so she jumped in to have a swim, and she got cold shock or a cramp :shrug: I am struggling that she would leave her child to a horrible fate if he wasn’t found

[Beso]

This is very upsetting.

[bots]

accidents happen, swimming alone in deep water is pretty much asking for trouble ... if that's what happened ... we will never know

[hijaxers]

accidents happen, swimming alone in deep water is pretty much asking for trouble ... if that's what happened ... we will never know

Whatever happened its very sad ~ a little boy is left with no mother ~ i feel this is just a tragedy as i really don't think you would take your small son out to witness a suicide. Poor little lad i feel for him and immediate family ~ they must be heartbroken.

[Vanessa]

Apparently a lot of people have drowned in that lake :shocked:

[Barry.]

Apparently a lot of people have drowned in that lake :shocked:

Were they found?

[Josiah.]

No, because the trees and debris at the bottom of the lake have gotten those drowning victims entangled.

[Vanessa]

Were they found?

I don't think so :sad:

[GoldHeart]

Apparently a lot of people have drowned in that lake :shocked:

Seriously !?? Omg :shocked: , why the risk it doesn't make sense :conf:

[Denver]

Police have said they don't believe it was suicide on the account of what her son said

[Vanessa]

Seriously !?? Omg :shocked: , why the risk it doesn't make sense :conf:

I would be scared to go there.
Because of what I heard.

[rusticgal]

Were they found?


I think most of them were found but it took days for some of them to be found. It looks like the currents are really strong.

[Ammi]

...I don’t know why Lea Michele Has deleted her Twitter account because of abusive tweets following on from Naya’s disappearance.../..why she would have got those tweets...

[Amy Jade]

...I don’t know why Lea Michele Has deleted her Twitter account because of abusive tweets following on from Naya’s disappearance.../..why she would have got those tweets...

Because Naya and Lea notoriously disliked each other. I guess some upset Naya fans and a mix of hateful trolls decided to attack Lea.

It's quite sickening when you think about it, Lea is pregnant at the moment so all this stress must be horrific. She shouldn't be at the receiving end of abuse because of what has sadly happened to Naya.

Yeah some people should be careful as it's not Lea Michelle's fault on what's happened here.

Hopefully there's a miracle that happens and that she's still alive, but I don't see that being the case sadly.

[Shaun]

...I don’t know why Lea Michele Has deleted her Twitter account because of abusive tweets following on from Naya’s disappearance.../..why she would have got those tweets...

She was already under fire for accusations of bullying from other former cast members, I don't think this news will have helped but certainly any "anti-Lea" sentiment was at its height about a month ago

[UserSince2005]

These police are completely incompetent, they come up with a new statement each day that contradict the last.

Find Naya now!

Until her body is found this should be treated as an abduction afaic.

I don't know who's involved but she was special enough to be on the Illuminati's hit list

[Denver]

Yes the beat way to solve it is by treated it as something its not

[Jigs]

The lake runs 40 meters deep in certain parts. If she was dragged all the way down by debris it's unlikely her body will get recovered very quickly at all.

My heart goes out to her family and especially the son who had to witness his mom disappear under the water and not come back up...

[Brother Leon]

Body has been found.

[arista]

CNN HD
just reported her body has been found

What a sad outcome though .

Well there goes the last bit of hope!

The picture of her upset mother on her knees on the lake dock has me in tears.

Poor Naya

So devastating.

I think the press releasing pictures of Naya's mother on her knees is very distasteful.

I really.y hope it doesn't affect her sons future because things like that can haunt a person for life just knowing he last saw his mum going for a swim but never came back

Most of the main Glee cast went to help search for her including Heather Morris who played Brittany, Santana's wife on the show :(

As awful as her death is, I’m sure most moms feel like if they ever had to die, dying saving their kid would be the best way to go. The way it happened is just tragic though. Ugh. I genuinely can’t stop thinking about it. I keep forgetting and then remembering it again

It really is, Ammi. This show really is cursed.

Hopefully there won't be anymore deaths.
