'Top Chef’ Masters alum Naomi Pomeroy’s body has been recovered four days after her tragic inner tube accident
Top Chef Masters alum Naomi Pomeroy’s body has been recovered four days after her tragic inner tube accident.
When they hit rough currents near river mile 132 in Corvallis, Oregon, just upstream from the Mary’s River, Pomeroy was “pulled under the water and unable to free herself due to the paddleboard leash,” the Benton County Sheriff’s Office announced on Tuesday, July 16. When the BCSO joined the search, they began looking downriver on land and water for Pomeroy. Finally, on Wednesday, July 17, people canoeing along Willamette River discovered a body around 10 a.m. and called 911, the sheriff’s office stated in a press release later that day.
Ahead of her death, Pomeroy, who hailed from Portland, was a big name in the Oregon culinary scene after opening her first restaurant, Beast, in the city in 2007. Two years later, she was named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs.
