TMZ is reporting that Glee actress Naya Rivera’s body has been recovered from Lake Piru. Ventura County officials have not officially announced that the recovered body is Rivera, but authorities have reportedly confirmed the body’s identity to TMZ. An official press conference is scheduled to be held at 2pm today.
The 33-year-old actress originally went missing on July 8 while on a rented boat with her 4-year-old son. Her son reportedly told authorities that Rivera had jumped in the lake, but didn’t come back up. The son was later found on the boat with Rivera nowhere in sight.
Rivera originally rose to fame and gained her icon status on the FOX musical drama Glee. The actress played Santana Lopez, a queer high schooler who struggled with her traditional family accepting her sexuality.
Rivera appeared in all six seasons of Glee and sang many of the fan favorite songs from the show, including Valerie, Smooth Criminal, and a mash-up of Adele’s Rumour Has It and Someone Like You. She, along with the rest of the main cast, was nominated for a Grammy for the show’s cover of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’.
In her career outside of Glee, Rivera released the single Sorry with her then-boyfriend Big Sean. She also released Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up, a memoir detailing her life and career.
More recently, the actress has starred in the YouTube Red original series Step Up: High Water. Last year the show was renewed for a third season and it was announced that it would move over to the Starz network.
Rivera is survived by her four-year-old son. RIP.
