TORONTO -- While authorities search for former "Glee" star Naya Rivera at a Southern California lake, her disappearance is not the first tragedy to hit the cast and crew of the show.
California police confirmed late Wednesday that Rivera rented a pontoon boat at the Lake Piru reservoir and that her 4-year-old son was found aboard wearing a life vest.
"We're going on the belief that she did go in the water and we have not been able to locate her. So this may well be a case of drowning," Captain Eric Buschow said during a news conference.Rivera’s disappearance is the latest tragedy to strike the cast of "Glee." The program ran for six seasons from 2009 to 2015 and was considered by critics as one of the cheeriest shows on TV at the time. However, the years since its conclusion have been tumultuous for some of its cast and crew, leading to claims that the show is "cursed."
Before her suspected drowning, Naya Rivera, who played cheerleader Santana Lopez in 113 episodes of the hit musical show, was arrested in November 2017 for domestic battery. The 31-year-old's then-husband, actor Ryan Dorsey, told a deputy that she struck him in the head and face. The couple were reportedly arguing over their son.
The charges were dropped in January 2018, after Dorsey decided not to seek prosecution. The couple finalized their divorce in June 2018, after nearly four years of marriage.
