It has been confirmed by TMZ that ex-WWE star Shad Gaspard has been found dead on Venice Beach at the age of 39. The LA County Coroner identified Gaspard’s body, which was first seen by a citizen on the beach. That person then called the cops around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 20th. Officers responded to the scene and recovered the body.
It was previously reported that Gaspard had gone missing after he was caught in a rip current. Lifeguards dashed into the water to rescue people who were caught in the current, and Gaspard had directed lifeguards to rescue his 10-year-old son first. Lifeguards were able to rescue his son, but not him.
Police and Coast Guard officials searched the beach and waters for almost two full days. Gaspard loved hanging out at the beach, especially with his family by his side. That’s exactly what he was doing the day he was pulled under by a rip current. Less than two weeks ago he posted a heartwarming video of him with his son on the beach. “Love the life I built for my self and my family,” he writes alongside the video.
