Former WWE Superstar Missing After Getting Caught In Rip Tide At The Beach
TMZ reports that former WWE wrestler and Shad Gaspard is currently missing after getting caught in a rip tide during a swim at the beach yesterday. Gaspard was a part of the tag team Cryme Tyme, which was popular in the mid/late 2000’s.
The story is very sad. Gaspard was at Venice Beach swimming with his 10 year-old son (and other swimmers) when a rip tide hit. Lifeguards attended to the swimmers and according to reports when they came to help, Gaspard told them to help his 10 year-old son first so they did. At this point a large wave came down on Gaspard and he wasn’t seen again.
Divers are searching the ocean while helicopters are looking from above.
According to Shad Gaspard’s wife, Siliana, Shad has gone missing. If you see or know anything, please alert his family pic.twitter.com/LqY78XfvmM
