TMZ is reporting that Gaspard has gone missing while swimming with his son. Here is what the report says:
Officials are desperately searching for ex-WWE superstar Shad Gaspard — after he went missing during a swim at Venice Beach on Sunday with his 10-year-old son.
Gaspard and his son were among a group of swimmers caught in a strong rip current around 4 pm — with lifeguards racing into the water to pull everyone out.
Gaspard’s son was rescued — but the 39-year-old pro wrestler has not been located.
TMZ also says that Gaspard was seen directing rescuers to help his son first, which was the last time that he was seen:
One official working with the L.A. Fire Dept. told media they believe the 39-year-old “did submerge.”
Divers were sent to scour the area. Helicopters were searching from above.
One witness at the scene tells us … when lifeguards raced to into the ocean, Gaspard directed rescuers to help his son first, which they did.
During the rescue, we’re told another big wave crashed down on Gaspard — and that’s the last time he was seen.
UPDATE: Dave Meltzer says he spoke to a friend who was taking part in the search and there was no sign of him this morning:
