The search for missing Top Chef star Naomi Pomeroy has come to its tragic conclusion after she was found dead in a river.
As per reports, the Portland chef’s body was discovered on July 17, several days after she had gone missing following a tubing accident.
Benton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed in a heartbreaking statement that Naomi had drowned. Its investigation found that three adults – Pomeroy, her husband Kyle Linden Webster and a friend — became entangled while on tubes and a paddleboard that were connected.
Tragic details in their report go on to say that Naomi was pulled underwater after the group encountered an “exposed snag in the water” and was thereafter unable to free herself due to the “paddleboard leash”.
According to sources, Corvallis Fire Department members were able to recover Webster and the friend at the shore, but Pomeroy’s body was not immediately located.
A search was initiated, with the sheriff’s office offering an update on July 17 to say that Pomeroy’s body had been found on the Willamette River about a half mile upstream of Hyak Park between the towns of Corvallis and Albany.
The office detailed how people canoeing the river had spotted a body which later turned out to be Naomi’s.
The 49-year-old was a self-trained chef who became popular within her industry after opening the acclaimed Portland restaurant beast in 2007.
Pomeroy appeared on Iron Chef as well as Top Chef Masters, while she also served as guest judge on Top Chef in seasons 10, 15, and 18.
The show and its network, Bravo, made a statement following Pomeroy’s death, writing on X:
“The Bravo and Top Chef family send our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Chef Naomi Pomeroy. Naomi was a powerhouse chef who made an indelible mark on the culinary industry.”
Rest in peace, Naomi Pomeroy.
Dad says he has no regrets after spending nearly £600 on family holiday that lasted just half a day
This is one way to make the utmost of your day off
A pater has revealed that he has no regrets after dropping nearly£ 600 pounds on a 12- hour vacation with his family.
Chancing fun for all the family can frequently be complicated- and precious- which is why one pater
decided to make sure his woman and children had a day to flash back and head out on a enough audacious day trip.
Like all great stories, 48- time-old Johnathan Wright’s day trip started by flourishing the family at 2 am so that he could head down to Luton Airport with woman , Anna, 45, and three children, Edward, 18, Oliver, 17 and Alexander, 14.
Their intended position? Prague, also known as the’ City of a Hundred Belts’.
The Wrights landed in the Czech capital at 9 am and wasted no time in setting off exploring, making stops at the megacity’s notorious Charles Bridge, Old Town Square( which features the iconic astronomical timepiece) and Prague Castle.
” All the structures look like they’re from Disney, they were so beautiful,” Johnathan said of the megacity, adding that the family had to’ jam- pack their diary to take in all the sights.
Sightseeing was not the only thing the family enjoyed throughout the day either, with the Wrights having a quick power nap in the demesne as well as enjoying original beers like Staropramen and the notorious chimney stack galettes.
For Johnathan the highlight of the day was the riverboat voyage, which handed a welcome break from sightseeing.
” It took us down from the heat of the day and gave us an occasion to duly look at the megacity,” he said.
In total, the family spent£ 584 on their trip, roughly£ 116 for each person, with air trip for the family of five making up the largest expenditure at£ 250. The remaining£ 334 was spent on refections, snacks, transport and the boat trip.
And the adventure clearly beats a day out at your closest theme demesne, cinema or shopping centre.
The family left Prague just before 10 pm and arrived back in the UK at 1115 pm( factoring in the one hour time difference) before eventually making it back home for 140 am.
Although his family did not feel too keen on embarking on another extreme day trip anytime soon, Jonathan said he would be further than happy to do one again.
” I tête-à-tête would do it again but I am not sure my family would,” he said.
” I suppose it’s great way of seeing new metropolises and also you do not have to spend as important as you would do on a proper vacation.”
So now you know what to do the coming time you have a day off with nothing to do.
