The heartbreaking news broke on Monday that former WWE Superstar, Shad Gaspard, is missing. The story was that Shad was swimming with his son at the beach and hasn’t been seen since. The only good news is that his young son was rescued.

Shad’s family has now issued a statement to TMZ on the situation.
Here is the statement that they issued:
“We would like to express our gratitude to the first responders who rescued Aryeh and to the lifeguards, coastguard, divers, fire and police departments for their continued efforts to help find our beloved Shad,
“Shad is a fighter, a warrior and a magical soul. We are hoping and praying for his safe return.”
“As a family we thank you all for your concern and well wishes. Please continue to keep sending your positivity and prayers to our beloved Shad.”
This statement came after TMZ reported that the U.S Coast Guard search to find him has been suspended:
8:32 AM PT — 5/19 — The search to find Shad Gaspard has been suspended, the U.S. Coast Guard tells us.
We know there was at least one boat still searching for Gaspard on Tuesday morning … but it’s become clear the chances of finding the ex-WWE star are fading fast.
We’re told the case will not be closed until officials find the missing person — but for now, the efforts have been drastically scaled back.
We will let you know when we hear anything more on the situation.
