Naya Rivera Missing, Feared Dead After Boating Trip With Son Josey

Naya Rivera is feared dead after going missing during a boating trip with her four-year-old son, Josey Dorsey.

The Ventura County Sheriff is reporting that the 33-year-old actress had rented a boat for herself and her son’s summer trip at Lake Piru at about 1 p.m. this afternoon (July 8), however, Josey was found in the boat alone three hours later.

A search began immediately after officials were notified of her disappearance, with the use of helicopters, drones and dive teams.

Josey apparently told authorities that he and his mother went swimming, but his mother never got back into the boat. He was found in the boat alone three hours later wearing a life vest.

Additionally, Naya‘s car was found in the parking lot and her purse was reportedly found in the boat. An NBC LA journalist has reported that Ventura County Sheriff Dept. says she is “presumed dead.”

Josey‘s father is actor Ryan Dorsey.
