"I was out of the country traveling to meet my daughters for a birthday celebration when I got the devastating news."
Moore said the death, which occurred at a party held by her assistant in her absence, was an "unthinkable tragedy, and my heart goes out to this young man's family and friends."
The man, Edenilson Steven Valle, had gone missing for 10 or 15 minutes before his friends found him floating in the deep end of the pool yesterday morning, said Los Angeles County coroner's Lt. Fred Corral.
