The world was left stunned after news broke that “Glee” actress Naya Rivera vanished at a lake in Southern California on Wednesday.
Authorities presume that the breakout star drowned. She was last seen on a Lake Piru dock with her 4-year-old son. Rivera’s child was found sleeping by himself in the pontoon boat they rented, wearing a life vest. Another life vest was found lying around upon the discovery.
According to the child, they went for a swim but his mother never returned.
