TSR Prayers Up: Roommates, please keep the family of Shad Gaspard in your prayers this evening. The former WWE star went missing while swimming at Marina Del Rey Beach on Sunday with his 10-year-old son.
Shad Gaspard and his son were among a group of swimmers who got caught in a strong rip current, prompting lifeguards to race to the water to rescue everyone.
One witness at the scene told TMZ when lifeguards raced into the ocean, Gaspard directed rescuers to help his son first, which they did. While Gaspard’s son was safely recovered from the water, Gaspard remains missing.
A massive search was underway Sunday for the pro wrestler. One official working with the Los Angeles Fire Department told reporters officials believe Gaspard “did submerge.”
During the rescue efforts, it was reported that another big wave crashed down on Gaspard, and that was the last time he was seen. Divers were sent to search the area while helicopters assisted from above.
Gaspard was at the beach on Sunday with his wife and their son. Outside of pro wrestling, Gaspard made headlines in 2016 when he heroically stopped an armed robbery in Florida.
Our prayers go out to Gaspard and his family as authorities continue to search for him at this time. We’ll keep you posted on any updates.
