Rivera has been missing since last Wednesday.

A body has been found in the search for actress Naya Rivera, who went missing while boating on a Southern California lake last week.

Ventura Police confirmed the news on Monday, saying: “A body has been found at Lake Piru this morning. The recovery is in progress.”

Ventura Police will hold a press conference later in the day, where further details are expected to be released.

Divers and teams using sonar equipment resumed the search on Monday morning (13 July), which had been going on for a number of days.

A search operation was launched for Rivera after her four-year-old son, who was unharmed, was found asleep on a vessel on Lake Piru.

Rivera is best known for playing Santana Lopez in the musical comedy series Glee.
