Naomi Pomeroy, renowned chef and “Top Chef Masters” star, died in a tubing accident in Oregon over the weekend, local authorities said. She was 49.
Pomeroy drowned in the Willamette River in Corvallis, Oregon, on Saturday, July 13th, according to a news release posted to Facebook by the Benton County Sheriff’s Office . “An investigation by BCSO determined three floaters on tubes and a paddle board, secured together, were caught on an exposed snag in the water. One of the floaters, Naomi, was pulled under the water and held by the paddle board leash,” the sheriff’s release stated. The other two people were safely recovered from the water.
“I am dedicated to locating Naomi to bring her home to her family and loved ones,” said Sheriff Van Arsdall, according to the release. “I want to thank all involved in the search and recovery mission and support during this difficult time.” The Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s assistance in keeping an eye out for Pomeroy’s body and requests immediate contact upon location.
