Glee star Naya Rivera is missing after her four-year-old son was found alone in a boat on a lake in Southern California, officials say.

The 33-year-old rented the boat on Wednesday afternoon at Lake Piru, north-west of Los Angeles, the Ventura County Sheriff's office said.

It said a search and rescue operation was suspended overnight and "will continue at first light".

Rivera is best known for playing cheerleader Santana Lopez in Glee.

The musical comedy TV series ran on the Fox network from 2009 to 2015.

What's is known about the boating incident?

Rivera's child was spotted by another boater three hours after the actress had taken the boat, CBS Los Angeles reports, quoting the sheriff's office.

It says the boy told investigators that he and his mother were swimming - but she never got back into the boat.

The missing person was later formally identified as Naya Rivera, a Los Angeles resident.

On Tuesday, Rivera posted on Twitter a picture of herself and her son with a caption "just the two of us".

Rivera began her career as a child actress and model, appearing in TV commercials in the US.

As a four-year-old she starred in the Royal Family sitcom, and had a number of other TV appearances.

But it was playing cold-hearted Santana Lopez in Glee that made her a star in America.

In 2014, Rivera starred in the horror film At the Devil's Door.

The same year she married fellow actor Ryan Dorsey - who is the father of her son.

The couple divorced in 2018 and have joint custody of the boy.

Glee star Naya Rivera is believed to have drowned in a "tragic accident" while boating with her young son on a lake in California, police say.

The 33-year-old was reported missing on Wednesday afternoon when her boat was seen drifting at Lake Piru, north-west of Los Angeles.

Her son, 4, was found asleep on board. He told police they went swimming but his mother never returned.

Search teams are hunting for her body but conditions are difficult.

Rivera is best known for playing cheerleader Santana Lopez in Glee, the hugely popular musical comedy TV series that ran on the Fox network from 2009 to 2015.

What is known about the boating incident?
Rivera and her son rented a boat together at 1300 PST (2000 GMT) on Wednesday, according to authorities.

The boat was due back three hours later but when the pair did not return workers went out to search for them.

The child was found by another person on the lake "asleep and with his life vest on", police said.

After a massive search and rescue operation found no trace of Rivera police moved to a "search and recovery operation".

"We're presuming that an accident happened and we're presuming that she drowned in the lake," Chris Dyer from the Ventura County Sheriff's said.

"The goal is still to bring Ms Rivera home to her family so they can have some closure," Mr Dyer added.

Visibility in the lake is low and police also warned it could take weeks to find a body, if it can be found at all.

Naya Rivera: CCTV of star boarding boat

Glee star Naya Rivera went missing on Wednesday after going out boating with her son.

The boy was found asleep on the boat alone, he told police he and his mother had gone swimming but she didn't return to the boat.

Search and rescue has so far found no trace of Rivera. Police are presuming that she has drowned in the lake.
 
Truly sad.

Poor wee lad with no mother.

It’s like this programme is cursed. Three of them gone now.
 
Naya Rivera’s mother has been seen falling to her knees at the site of her daughter’s disappearance, as authorities continue to search for the Glee star’s body.

Rivera is feared to have drowned after she rented a pontoon boat on Wednesday (8 July) with her son Josey, and failed to return to shore. Josey, four, was found alone and asleep on the boat.

On Saturday (11 July), members of Rivera’s family, including her mother Yolanda, father George and brother Mychal, all visited Lake Piru, the scene of Rivera’s disappearance.

Yolanda was seen sitting on the dock of the lake with her arms outstretched, while George ventured ankle-deep into the water.

According to TMZ, Ventura County deputies are continuing to search for Rivera’s body, using a remotely operated vehicle to find objects beneath the water.

Divers, dogs and side-scan sonar are also being deployed in the search, which is encountering difficulties due to the amount of debris in the water.

TMZ also reports that authorities are uncertain about where Rivera was located in the water when she vanished.

They have, however, declared that there is “little to no evidence” that Rivera made it back to shore.

Rivera rose to fame as cheerleader Santana Lopez on the hit musical series Glee. Many of her former co-stars, including Demi Lovato and Heather Morris, have used social media to pray for her safety.

Sgt Kevin Donoghue, a spokesman for Ventura County Sheriff Department, earlier told the BBC that they were "putting every available asset and resource" into the search.

That included using side-scanning sonar, divers, sniffer dogs, helicopters and remote-operated submarine vehicles equipped with cameras.

He added that Rivera's son had seen his mother "disappear beneath the water".

A body found in a lake in the US state of California has been identified as the missing Glee star Naya Rivera, police say.

Rivera is best known for playing the cheerleader Santana Lopez in the hugely popular musical comedy TV series Glee.

At a news conference on the shore of the lake on Monday, Sheriff Bill Ayub of the Ventura County Sheriff Department said police were "confident" the body was that of Rivera.

He added that there was no indication of foul play or that she took her own life.

Rivera's son told police they had gone swimming but she never returned. After a massive search and rescue operation found no trace of Rivera, police moved to a "search and recovery operation".

He added that Rivera's son had seen his mother "disappear beneath the water".

"Rest sweet, Naya. What a force you were," Rivera's Glee co-star Jane Lynch wrote on Twitter. "Love and peace to your family."

Another Glee co-star, Josh Sussman, tweeted: "Naya, you will be missed so much."

Ventura County medical examiners say death of 'Glee' star Naya Rivera has been deemed as an "accidental drowning"
 
Former Glee actor Naya Rivera raised her arm and called for help as she drowned while boating with her son, according to a post-mortem report.

Rivera, best known for playing Santana Lopez on TV musical-comedy Glee from 2009 to 2015, had been with her four-year-old son, Josey Hollis Dorsey, on Lake Piru, northwest of Los Angeles, on 8 July.

The report by the Ventura County Medical Examiner said the 33-year-old had helped her son back into the boat after swimming and he had noticed her "put her arm up in the air and [yell] 'help'" before she "disappeared in to the water".

The boy was found sleeping on the boat later that afternoon and Rivera's body was found floating in the lake five days later.

Rivera "knew how to swim well", according to the report, and the man who had rented her the boat said she declined a life jacket - he had put one on the boat anyway.

The report also revealed Rivera had previous problems with vertigo, a recent sinus infection and a small amount of prescribed amphetamines in her system, but none of these were described as factors in her death.

She also had also taken small amounts of an anti-anxiety drug and an appetite suppressant.

After her body was found, Sheriff Bill Ayub had said Josey told detectives the pair went swimming and she boosted him onto the deck before he looked back to see her disappear under the water.

The sheriff said their theory was that the boat drifted as they swam and she "mustered enough energy to get her son on board, but not enough to save herself".

Rivera's body was found seven years after Glee co-star Cory Monteith died at 31 from alcohol and heroin.

Another Glee star, Mark Salling, killed himself in 2018 at age 35 after pleading guilty to child pornography charges.

Former Glee star Blake Jenner has said he takes "full responsibility" for having abused his ex-partner "emotionally, mentally and physically".

Jenner played Ryder Lynn in the Fox musical comedy-drama series.

His Instagram post, which does not name his ex-partner, follows Supergirl star Melissa Benoist posting last year about domestic violence and an anonymous ex.

US news publications and a surge of social media posts have suggested they were each referring to each other.

"Over the past 11 months, I have been thinking about how to address a personal situation made public in late-2019," wrote Jenner.

"Throughout that time, I reflected on a period in my life that I had previously kept in the darkness out of shame and fear, but I know this is something that needs to be addressed, not just publicly, but also privately with the individual directly affected and with myself."
 
Naya Rivera: Wrongful death lawsuit filed over Glee star's drowning

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed over the drowning of Glee actress Naya Rivera, who died during a boating trip with her young son in July.

The suit was filed by Rivera's ex-husband and on behalf of her estate over the accident on a California lake.

It blames the local authority and the managers of Lake Piru, north-west of Los Angeles, where the accident happened.

It alleges swimmers were not adequately warned of the risks of swimming there.

The late 33-year-old actress was best known for playing cheerleader Santana Lopez in Glee.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of her son by Rivera's ex-husband and the boy's father, Ryan Dorsey.

It alleges that the boat rented by Rivera was "not equipped with a safely accessible ladder, adequate rope, an anchor, a radio, or any security mechanisms to prevent swimmers from being separated from their boats". It also said it did not have any flotation devices.

It also alleges there were no warning signs at the lake alerting swimmers to potentially dangerous conditions such as strong currents, low visibility and changing water depths.

The local authorities have not yet commented on the lawsuit.

Rivera had rented a pontoon boat with her son - aged four at the time of the accident - at Lake Piru on 8 July.

The child was found alone and asleep in the boat by a leasing agent after it was not returned, prompting a search for the actress. Her body was found a few days later and her death was later declared to have been accidental.

A lawsuit filed by the family of Glee actress Naya Rivera against Ventura County over her drowning in July 2020 has been privately settled, according to the lawyer handling her case.

The 33-year-old was boating with her four-year-old son Josey Hollis Dorsey on Lake Piru, northwest of Los Angeles, when she drowned.
