Naya Rivera was best known for starring in the musical comedy Glee
Police searching for missing Glee star Naya Rivera say a body has been found in a lake in southern California.
Rivera, 33, went missing on Wednesday after going boating with her four-year-old son at Lake Piru. He was found alone and asleep in the boat.
Divers and teams using sonar equipment resumed the search on Monday. Police have not given details, and a news conference will be held later.
Rivera is best known for playing the cheerleader Santana Lopez in Glee.
Her son told police they had gone swimming but the actress never returned. After a massive search and rescue operation found no trace of Rivera, police moved to a “search and recovery operation”.
They said she is believed to have drowned in a “tragic accident”.
Sgt Kevin Donoghue, a spokesman for Ventura County Sheriff Department, earlier told the BBC that they were “putting every available asset and resource” into the search.
That included using side-scanning sonar, divers, sniffer dogs, helicopters and remote-operated submarine vehicles equipped with cameras.
He added that Rivera’s son had seen his mother “disappear beneath the water”.(BBC)
