Tragic accident
Star chef Naomi Pomeroy drowned in river
Celebrity chef Naomi Pomeroy, who became famous in the USA for her participation in several cooking TV shows, has died in a water sports accident at the age of 49.
Pomeroy was out on the Willamette River in the US state of Oregon with her husband and another person using tires and a paddleboard when she capsized and drowned, according to US media reports citing her family.
Dragged under water
It is said that the sports equipment the group had been using was all connected to each other. When they got caught in an obstacle in the water, Pomeroy was pulled underwater.
"Despite all attempts, she was unable to free herself from the paddleboard line," confirmed a police spokesperson. Due to the strong current in the river, the rescue also proved to be difficult.
"We deeply regret to confirm the death of Naomi Pomeroy," a statement read. "She was an outstanding chef and will be missed by many."
