Top Chef Masters star Naomi Pomeroy dies in inner tube accident at 49

 Chef Naomi Pomeroy, who was known for competing on the third season of Top Chef Masters in 2011 and for her award-winning restaurants, has died in a tragic water-recreation accident. She was 49.

The Benton County Sheriff's Office in Oregon, where she lives, said Tuesday that Pomeroy drowned in the Willamette River at approximately 8:25 p.m. Saturday.

"An investigation by BCSO determined three adults recreating on tubes and a paddle board (two tubes were secured together and the paddle board was attached to Naomi), became entangled on an exposed snag in the water," the agency said in a new release. "One of the adults, Naomi, was pulled under the water and unable to free herself due to the paddleboard leash."
