The search for award-winning Portland chef Naomi Pomeroy's body continued Tuesday after she drowned in a tragic tubing accident over the weekend, officials said. She was 49. Pomeroy was tubing with two others in the Willamette River near Corvallis, Oregon, when she was suddenly pulled under the water after getting caught on a snag. A paddleboard leash held her down, according to an investigation by the Benton County Sheriff's Office.
Before that, she was selected as Food & Wine magazine's Best New Chef in 2009 and gained greater popularity when she competed in 'Iron Chef' in 2010 and 'Top Chef Masters' in 2011. 'The larger Portland community is in shock that one of its brightest stars has met a sudden and tragic end to a vibrant life,' food critic Karen Brooks wrote in Portland Monthly.
