LOS ANGELES (AP) — The body of former World Wrestling
Entertainment pro Shad Gaspard was found early Wednesday on Los
Angeles' Venice Beach, after he was caught in a rip current last
weekend, police said.
Patrol officers were flagged down around 1:25 a.m. by a person
reporting that a body had washed ashore, a Police Department
statement said.
He was identified as Gaspard and his family was notified, police
said. Gaspard went missing last Sunday after he went swimming
with his 10-year-old son, Aryeh.
The boy was rescued and several other swimmers made it out of
the water safely.
Gaspard, 39, gained prominence in the WWE as one half of the
tag-team group Cryme Tyme, along with his partner, JTG. After
retiring in 2010, Gaspard has had small roles on TV and in
movies, including the 2015 Kevin Hart comedy “Get Hard.”
He was about 50 yards (46 meters) from shore when he was last
spotted by a lifeguard, police said. A wave crashed over him and
he was swept out to sea.
His wife, Siliana Gaspard, issued a statement Tuesday thanking
authorities and fans.
“We would like to express our gratitude to the first responders
who rescued Aryeh and to the lifeguards, coast guard, divers,
fire and police departments for their continued efforts to help
find our beloved Shad,” the statement said.
