Naomi Pomeroy, star of Top Chef Masters, drowned after being trapped underwater while tubing with her husband and a friend in a river in Oregon (USA).
The beloved chef, 49, was tubing with her husband, Kyle Linden Webster, and a friend in the Willamette River when the group was caught in an “exposed obstacle in the water,” according to the Benton County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the statement released last Tuesday (16th), Pomeroy was then pulled underwater and got trapped by a paddle leash attached to her, causing her to drown. The trio had tied their tubes and paddleboard together before the incident.
The Corvallis Fire Department has not yet recovered Pomeroy’s body, while Webster and the third individual were rescued on the shore, about 96 km outside of Portland. “I am committed to locating Naomi to bring her home to her family and loved ones,” said Sheriff Van Arsdall.
