EXCERPT: The search and recovery mission for Glee star Naya Rivera entered its third day on Friday amid fears the actress may have drowned in Lake Piru after being 'dragged down by a whirlpool.' The 33-year-old remains missing and is believed to have died in a 'tragic accident', two days after she disappeared on a boating trip with her four-year-old son Josey, who was found alone on their rented pontoon boat with her life vest on board.

The search is now being treated as recovery operation with sonar equipment as authorities believe Rivera likely  drowned in the lake where at least eight others have died since 1994, including nine-year-old Denise Arredondo who was sucked below the surface by a whirlpool.

The girl's cousin Andrea Arredondo, 26, told The Sun it's possible the actress may have also been dragged down by a vortex on Wednesday which she said are 'notorious' at the lake. 'I was very surprised with this piece of information because I wasn't even aware that whirlpools occurred in lakes,' she said. 'I really hope that isn't the reason Naya didn't resurface, but it could be one of the possibilities.' (MORE)
