The body of “Glee” actress Naya Rivera has been recovered from Lake Piru, according to TMZ.
On Monday, Ventura County Sheriff’s office released a statement about the discovery, saying, “a body has been found at Lake Piru this morning. The recovery is in progress.”
The recovery comes five days after the actress went missing on the water. Rivera and her 4-year-old son went swimming on the lake prior to her disappearance. Her son, Josey Hollis Dorsey got back into the boat, but later told police that his mother did not.
Rivera’s rise to fame began at the tender age of four when she landed the role of Hillary Winston in “The Royal family.” In 2009, the actress secured the role of Santana Lopez on the hit series, “Glee,” and just two years later, she signed a deal with Columbia Records.
Rivera also lent her talent to a slew of movie roles, including “At the Devil’s Door” and Lifetime’s “Devious Maids.”
The actress is survived by her son, friends, and millions of fans. She was 33.
