On Thursday, the Ventura Sheriff’s Office announced that the search-and-rescue mission had become a “search-and-recovery operation.”
“We’re presuming that an accident happened, we’re presuming that she drowned in the lake,” Officer Chris Dyer of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said. “There are no signs of foul play, no signs that anything went wrong, besides a tragic accident.”
Together, Morris and Rivera helped queer teens see that they were visible and worthy of love. This past week, many fans tweeted about the influence Rivera and her character had on them.

She inspired me, she played a character that made me realize that I’m not alone in my struggles as a member of the LGBTQ community, she was somebody that gave me the confidence I needed to be myself and face the world without fear. R.I.P Naya Rivera, I love you 3000 ♥ pic.twitter.com/x48SqQ33jw

I keep checking Twitter for updates on #NayaRivera. I never worked with her or met her but I loved her “I’m a force of nature” energy and sheer presence in her work as Santana on #Glee and I feel a deep sadness at the story – as we know it. Life can change so very, very quickly.

naya rivera literally saved my life. she saved countless lives with the beloved character she played. we will never be able to repay her for what she did for the lgbtq community. naya is the definition of a true ally and for that i’ll always be immensely grateful.
