Probably swimming with her kid, boat drifts further than she realized, and she became too exhausted to keep swimming. It's an easy mistake to make. Feel bad for her family.

Don't go boating alone(effectively) and without a vest.

but she was, potentially, trying to observe social distancing and keep her baby safe which is respectful and the bad part about social distancing.

my thought was why it was so important/the need to swim at 1am?

All in all, it is a unfortunate matter.

She rented the boat at 1pm, and was missing by 4pm. Where'd you get 1am from? They did call off the search overnight and began again this morning.

All right the over night search got me confused. Thanks for clarifying. That does make more sense now. But i was kinda hoping it was 1am too because if she has been missing since 4pm yesterday that makes me feel alot worse than i did because i'm hopeful for a happy outcome.

And concerning Mark, is that a confirmed suicide? Because reading the article it sounds like someone else could of gotten to him.

He was being charged for possession of child porn and was already reportedly severely depressed while going through the legal proceedings. He also had just came off of settling a sexual assault case just a few years before the child porn case. Mark being likely financially ruined and just heavily guilty about everything...I don't think there is any reason to assume foul play here.

At this point, I doubt she's still alive, it's so heartbreaking. Dying at such a young age, in such circumstances, must be horrible. I can't even begin to imagine the kind of trauma her son will now have to deal with for years to come, this is so incredibly sad.

For what it's worth, Piru Lake does have currents in it as it feeds from one end of the river into another on the opposite end. They warn swimmers in the deepest parts might feel some, especially on windy days, they can get pretty strong. I assume that might be the cause.

I'm still just stunned by this. I used to watch Glee a lot especially for her character since she was the best part of the show. Her poor fucking child too. I hope he is doing well after seeing what he did.
Was this...." I know she isn't a great person" ...really fucking neccesary ? Goddamn.
can you fuck off with this? I'm tired of people on this forum trying to start shit over people reacting to shocking deaths.

I was a big fan of her for years. She did some shitty things that i still acknowledge while also being horrified she is dead and at the way she died. I haven't brought up what she specifically did because im not about to derail the thread like you want to. The only reason I mention it is because despite that I still feel very strongly about her death.

That poor kid, this made my heart sink. I can only imagine how horrifying it is for your mom to go missing like that, especially for a kid that young who won't fully understand what's going on. I can only hope they somehow find her alive, though it's nearly impossible at this point.

You don't get it, i see.
Let's keep it moving then - not going back and forth on this issue with you.

Press conference was tough to listen too. No new info but it is now considered a recovery mission and not a rescue.

I always wonder (and dread) how it's so simple to drown. Like how? It was clear, calm, warm water wasn't it?

Not clear at all, quite murky.

Lake has some current due to being fed into (or feeding into, I forget) a river.

Exhaustion or any other sudden issue (stroke, heart attack, etc) would basically be a death sentence if you're swimming in any depth of water.

Numerous other reasons, but speculation is in bad taste IMO. Just stating that drowning happens to thousands of people a year and it's usually not in some sort of deep ocean / massive waves condition.

While not directly related to this case: Undertow can, and will, fuck you up and kills people pretty regularly.

The sheriff in the video said the spot where the boat was found had alot of plant life under water that could easily lead to entanglements which makes rescue attempts harder as the divers trying to rescue/recover her are dealing with the same issues right now in looking over the suspected area of the disappearance.

This is horrific and tragic in every way possible

I don't think I can ever hear her version of "If I die young", ever again after this

This is so sad, I'm not ready to when they find her body, I still hope she is alive somewhere. She was my fave from Glee and I just love her attitude... poor kid too. RIP.

This is so sad. She was one of the few good people in the cast of Glee.

That poor kid...

Oh that is sad. Yeah I guess I never thought about the plant growth that occurred during the big drought. Looking at satellite photos like half the lake's surface area was exposed and had growing plants and trees.

So terribly sad.

As a proficient swimmer, I'll say that it's much easier to drown than people think, especially in a body of water with low visibility. You get snagged in a branch, seagrass, or a foot stuck in a submerged crevice/hole and that's it. Always swim with a group and vests in a place like this.

I don't know how to link a tweet, but a body has been found in the lake where she went missing. Conference set for 2PM

Wow, that's like finding a needle in a haystack. Whoever the body is, someone will be getting some closure, hopefully.

TMZ is already confirming it. At least her family will now be able to properly lay her to rest.
