Former WWE Star Shad Gaspard Goes Missing While Swimming In Venice Beach
Los Angeles Lifeguards and the U.S. Coast Guards are desperately searching for former WWE star Shad Gaspard after he went missing during a swim with his 10-year old son at Venice Beach on Sunday.
TMZ reports:
Gaspard and his son were among a group of swimmers caught in a strong rip current around 4 PM — with lifeguards racing into the water to pull everyone out.
Gaspard’s son was rescued — but the 39-year-old pro wrestler has not been located.
One official working with the L.A. Fire Dept. told media they believe the 39-year-old “did submerge.”
Divers were sent to scour the area. Helicopters were searching from above.
One witness at the scene tells us … when lifeguards raced into the ocean, Gaspard directed rescuers to help his son first, which they did.
During the rescue, we’re told another big wave crashed down on Gaspard — and that’s the last time he was seen.
Shad was at the beach that day with his wife and their 10-year-old son.

Gaspard was a big star with WWE back in the day — making up one half of the tag team Cryme Time with his partner, JTG.
Sending prayers in hopes that Gaspard is returned safely to his family.
