Seven years ago today, we were all horrified and saddened when we heard that Cory Monteith passed away from a drug overdose. Last week, Glee fans had the same emotions when they heard that Naya Rivera went missing after going on a boat ride with her 4-year-old son Josey in Lake Piru.
Ever since July 9th, crews have been searching for the actress, and today they found a body in the lake. As of now, it is not confirmed to be her, but Ventura Sheriff’s Office is holding a press conference at 2p PST to talk about it.
For four days, we held out hope that maybe somehow she made it onshore and was OK. However, when I saw that today marks the seventh anniversary of her co-star’s death, I had a feeling they were going to find her. I bet he helped guide them to her body so that her family could get closure and say their goodbyes.
There was a point in their search when they were unsure if they would ever be able to find her. In a few hours, we will know.
What a sad end to someone who had such a bright future as a mom and actress. May her son grow up knowing how special she was and how much she loved him.
