Ventura County Sheriff’s Department have uncovered a body at Lake Piru in California, the site where actress Naya Rivera went missing last week.
The “Glee” star is presumed to be have drowned after a swimming accident on July 8. The Ventura Sheriff’s office have not identified the body yet, but will hold a press conference on Monday at 2 p.m. at the lake.
“Happening now: A body has been found at Lake Piru this morning. The recovery is in progress. A news conference will take place at 2 pm at the lake,” the department wrote Monday on Twitter.
Last Wednesday, Rivera rented a boat with her 4-year-old son. Her son was later found sleeping on the boat wearing a life jacket, though Rivera did not return. However, her identification and life jacket were both in the boat. Her son told officials that he had gone swimming with his mother, and only he got back on the boat.
More than 100 people, including divers and law enforcement agents, have aided in the search for her body for days, but they had been unsuccessful due to dangerous conditions and poor visibility in the lake.
Rivera is best known for her roles on “Glee,” “Step Up: High Water” and “Devious Maids.”
