California Woman Went Missing for 2 Weeks. Officials Rescued Her from a Storm Drain, but Hours Later She Was Dead: Reports
A woman who was missing in California for two weeks died just hours after authorities pulled her out of a storm drain in serious condition, it's been reported Yafang Zhou, 59 — who had last been seen on March 25 — was rescued from the underground storm drain system in Poway, authorities said "What she was doing in there, what drove her in there, how she came to be in there — we are unclear," San Diego Fire-Rescue Battalion Chief Erik Windsor said, per NBC 7 San Diego A woman who was missing in California for two weeks has died just hours after being rescued from a storm drain, authorities have said. On Monday, April 7, Yafang Zhou, 59 — who had last been seen on March 25 near her Union Street home in downtown San Diego — died at Palomar Medical Center at about 4:15 p.m. local time. Her death came just hours after she was pulled from an underground storm drain system in Poway, per NBC 7 San Diego, citing the San Diego County medical examiner's office and San Diego County Public Information Officer Chuck Westerheide. The missing woman's death came just under two hours after she was rescued from the manhole in the area of 14710 Beeler Canyon Road, local ABC-affiliated station KGTV noted. Authorities from the Poway Fire Department, San Diego Fire Department and the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) carried out the rescue mission from around 1 p.m. to 2:35 p.m., the outlet stated. Amid the search for Zhou on Monday, SDPD officers heard a woman's voice coming from underneath a manhole cover, NBC 7 San Diego reported, citing lieutenant Jonathan Dungan. The officer said the woman was taken to hospital in a serious condition following the rescue. It's not known how she ended up in the storm drain system. Authorities at the scene said she was found approximately 10 feet underground, local station KUSI reported. "What she was doing in there, what drove her in there, how she came to be in there — we are unclear," San Diego Fire-Rescue Battalion Chief Erik Windsor said following the rescue mission, per NBC 7 San Diego. "It is very unusual to have someone in there," he added, noting that it's possible Zhou could have been in underground for days, the outlet reported. "Out of respect for Yafang and her family, no additional details will be released at this time," Dungan said, per the station. The rescue came after SDPD confirmed Zhou was missing in an Instagram post, writing that she'd last been seen around midnight on March 25. Investigators pinged Zhou's phone during the search, and it led them to near Beeler Canyon Road, which is the area where she was found, per KGTV. Fire Chief Windsor said of the rescue, "Units entered into the sewage system into what we call a confined space. They went through all the processes to permit it to make a safe entry, and then firefighters were literally inside the sewage or storm drain, crawling on their stomachs to try and locate the victim," KGTV noted. "Firefighters were opening manhole covers all along the storm drain system, and then they were eventually able to finally locate here in an area uphill from where we had been searching, at which point they reestablished the rescue efforts, built a system of ropes and pulleys, and lowered personnel down into the storm drain," he added, per the outlet.

Windsor also said it's "possible that she entered into the storm drain system from one of the outlets, which would naturally be open where water would flow out into the creek or some other way, but one of the things that we investigated when we first arrived here was to see if there were any open or disturbed manhole covers, which would have indicated to us a great starting point." "There weren't any, so we picked a central one and started searching from there, hoping really, initially, that we would just get lucky going in one direction or the other. And ultimately... when we went uphill, that's when they found her," the fire chief continued, KGTV stated. The San Diego County Communications Office, the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office, the San Diego Fire and Rescue Department, the San Diego Police Department and the Poway Fire Department didn't immediately respond when contacted by PEOPLE for additional information.

Family and friends are mourning the death of a rising pastry chef who died in a hiking accident in Hawaii last week. Gianna Buzzetta, 26, was hiking Makaleha Falls Trail alongside her boyfriend Connor Quinton when she was hit on the head by a falling rock on Sunday, March 23, according to Hawaii News Now and ABC affiliate KGTV. 'They heard a really loud noise,' Gianna's father, Sal Buzzetta, told KGTV. 'He looked up, but couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from. Within a second, it happened … The rock dislodged from quite a ways up … then it landed on her.' Quinton was able to pull Buzzetta from the water beneath the falls, but couldn't get cell service to call for emergency assistance. He ran three miles for help, family friend Carlye Wund, who organized a fundraiser for the family, told NBC affiliate KNSD-TV. Related: Man Rescued After Tumbling from Cliff While Searching for Missing Dog When first responders arrived on the scene, they found Buzzetta unconscious, but breathing, and she was also bleeding heavily from an apparent head wound, Hawaii News Now reported.

Fact Check: ICE detained Canadian 'American Pie' actor Jasmine Mooney for 12 days
Claim: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Canadian actor Jasmine Mooney — who had a role in an "American Pie" movie — for 12 days in early 2025. Rating: In March 2025, a rumor circulated online that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had detained Jasmine Mooney, a Canadian former actor, for 12 days. Mooney's story spread in social media posts and articles detailing the poor conditions in which she was purportedly detained. Many people online noted she played a small role in the "American Pie" series of teen comedies. ICE indeed detained Mooney for almost two weeks. Evidence for the claim's truth included Mooney's firsthand accounts from during and after her detention and statements from ICE and the Canadian government acknowledging the detention. As such, we rate this claim true. We reached out to the White House to learn more about Mooney's detention and will update this story when we get more information. An ICE spokesperson acknowledged over email that the agency had detained Mooney. The spokesperson did not, however, respond to our questions about the processing issues in Mooney's case, particularly her claim that numerous ICE agents who kept her in detention ignored her offer to buy her own ticket back to Canada. The ICE spokesperson sent us the following statement: Jasmine Mooney was detained March 3 by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for not having legal documentation to be in the United States. Mooney was processed in accordance with the "Securing Our Borders" Executive Order dated January 21. All aliens in violation of U.S. immigration law may be subject to arrest, detention and, if found removable by final order, removal from the U.S., regardless of nationality. That order, one of many President Donald Trump signed during the first days of his second term, read in part: "The Secretary of Homeland Security shall take all appropriate actions to detain, to the fullest extent permitted by law, aliens apprehended for violations of immigration law until their successful removal from the United States." Per Mooney's own account, she used to act in film and television. According to entertainment news site Deadline, her credits included the 2009 direct-to-video "American Pie Presents: The Book of Love" (a spinoff of the original "American Pie" series), "Kid Cannabis" and episodes of "Loudermilk" and "iZombie." We found the same credits on an IMDb profile under Mooney's name. Mooney's case gained widespread attention after she spoke to a reporter with San Diego's KGTV in early March 2025, while she was still in ICE custody. After her interview gained attention on March 12, ICE released her and she returned to Canada on March 15. Mooney spoke to the media when she reentered Canada through Vancouver, and shared her experiences in a Medium article that was partially republished by The Guardian. On March 13, KGTV shared video footage of Mooney participating in the interview from the detention center: In a statement to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., David Eby, the premier of British Columbia, expressed concern about Mooney's detention and urged the Canadian government to get her back through diplomatic channels. He also said this incident added to Canadians' anxieties about their neighbor. "The nature of our relationship is so fraught right now that this case makes us all wonder, what about our relatives who are working in the States?" he said. Mooney was in the process of reapplying for a work visa and had traveled to San Diego because her immigration lawyer was based there, according to an article in The Guardian in which she described her 12-day experience of being transferred between three detention centers with poor conditions: There was no explanation, no warning. One minute, I was in an immigration office talking to an officer about my work visa, which had been approved months before and allowed me, a Canadian, to work in the US. The next, I was told to put my hands against the wall, and patted down like a criminal before being sent to an ICE detention center without the chance to talk to a lawyer. [...] Thirty of us shared one room. We were given one Styrofoam cup for water and one plastic spoon that we had to reuse for every meal. I eventually had to start trying to eat and, sure enough, I got sick. None of the uniforms fit, and everyone had men's shoes on. The towels they gave us to shower were hand towels. They wouldn't give us more blankets. The fluorescent lights shined on us 24/7. Everything felt like it was meant to break you. Nothing was explained to us. I wasn't given a phone call. We were locked in a room, no daylight, with no idea when we would get out. Footage from Canadian outlet Global News showed Mooney embracing friends and family on her return to Canada after her release from ICE detention in mid-March. Speaking to media, she said she would not "wish" the experience of being detained on anyone: Mooney added that she did not understand what had led to her detention, and admitted she had previous visa problems.
