It’s been confirmed by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office that the body of ‘Glee’ star, 33-year old Naya Rivera, has been found. Naya’s body was found five days after she went missing while boating in California’s Lake Piru with her 4-year old son, Josey Dorsey.

Reports reveal Naya and her son rented a boat around 1 p.m on the day she went missing and about three hours later, Josey was found alone and asleep by another boater.  At the time, officials confirmed ‘Josey was unharmed and wearing a life vest, while an adult life vest, Naya’s purse and identification were found on the boat.’

According to a statement made by the sheriff’s office, “The boy told investigators that he and his mother had been swimming and he got back into the boat but she didn’t.”  The following day, it was believed Naya had drowned.
