Los Angeles police and firefighters confirmed that a body found washed up on Venice Beach matched the description of former WWE star Shad Gaspard. The 39-year-old was caught in a rip current while swimming with his son on Sunday afternoon and went missing.
His 10-year-old son Aryeh was rescued and taken to safety. Gaspard was last seen by a lifeguard about 50 yards from the shore.
Gaspard's wife Siliana Gaspard posted on Instagram Monday that he had been missing since Sunday.
The body's discovery was made in the early hours of Wednesday morning, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department's Lifeguard Division.
