Award-winning chef Naomi Pomeroy passed away at the age of 49.
The deceased Top Chef Masters contestant’s death was confirmed by friends.
Along with two other tubers, the woman was on the Willamette River outside of Portland, Oregon. Nobody knew who she was at first.
It was established a few days later that the woman was in fact Naomi.
When the three linked tubes struck a tree in the water, Naomi was not wearing a life jacket, which caused the accident. Naomi went underneath and was never seen again.
On Saturday around 8:25 p.m., authorities discovered Naomi’s body submerged in water.
It turned out that her body was lost to discovery due to a strong current.
Kyle Linden Webster, Naomi’s spouse, was among the other two individuals who survived.
“VERY SORRY TO HEAR THIS”
Naomi received a lot of farewell comments on her most recent Instagram post, which featured a promotion for Garden Party, her newest culinary endeavor.
The image of a group of people having dinner was shared in black and white on July 1.
“Wow, I don’t know what to say,” someone wrote. Naomi, please relax. Hearing this makes me very sad. I can’t even express myself.”
Because our lives are so brief, we must cherish every second of them. Another observed, “She seemed to have lived that way, especially lately.”
“This is beyond my comprehension. Rest in peace, someone else said. You were an angel, a legend, and a reason to live.
Another said, “We will miss you!” Another said. I’m shocked by this. Sending warm regards to the family.
“From afar, my love is for your family. I am deeply sorry to learn about your passing. “Another person wrote, “You’re very smart.”
“HOW BAD A LOSS!”
Congressman Earl Blumenauer issued a statement following the tragic news announcement. He assisted tiny eateries during the pandemic in collaboration with Naomi.
“What a blow,” he exclaimed.
In addition to being an excellent cook and businesswoman, Naomi was a lovely person.
She helped us become leaders and became well-known for our delicious meals, so her influence extended well beyond Portland.
“We will miss her terribly.”
