Hollywood actress, Naya Rivera feared drowned as son was found alone in a drifting boat

The Glee star and her son Josey rented a pontoon boat on Lake Piru on Wednesday afternoon, but three hours later another boater raised the alarm after seeing the vessel drifting and the child asleep on board.
Authorities believe Rivera to be ‘presumed drowned’, according to Captain Eric Buschow, a spokesman for the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office. Reports say her car was found nearby with her purse still inside.
A search and rescue dive team and a helicopter with a drone were both dispatched to the lake, around 60 miles north-west of downtown Los Angeles. The search was suspended overnight but is due to continue ‘at first light’.
Sheriff’s office spokesman Buschow told reporters last night that Rivera and her son were seen going out on the lake at around 1pm. ‘Approximately three hours after they left the dock another boater out on the lake discovered the boat drifting with the [son] on board asleep,’ they said. ‘So they contacted the rangers and began an investigation and we’ve been actively searching for the mother since that time. We have both aerial search going on and our dive team as well.
