Former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) pro Shad Gaspard‘s body was found washed up on Venice Beach on Wednesday morning after he was swept out to sea in Southern California last weekend while swimming with his young son.
Gaspard’s 10-year-old son, Aryeh, was rescued, and several other swimmers made it out of the water safely after they were caught in a rip current Sunday afternoon at Venice Beach in Los Angeles. “When last seen by the lifeguard, a wave had crashed over Mr.
Shad Gaspard and he was swept out to sea,” Los Angeles police said in a statement Monday. READ MORE: Howard Finkel dead: WWE announcer dies at 69 Gaspard, 39, was about 50 feet (46 metres) from shore when he was last spotted, police said.
