The body of former WWE wrestler Shad Gaspard was found early Wednesday morning after he went miss- ing over the weekend while swimming with his son in the ocean off Venice Beach.
Los Angeles County life- guards rescued Gaspard's 10-year-old son on Sunday after the two got caught in a strong rip current, according to KTLA. Gaspard, 39, was last seen swimming about 50 yards from the beach at about 3:40 p.m. when a wave crashed over him, sweeping him out to sea.
"In his final act, Gaspard instructed lifeguards to save
SHAD GASPARD
his son’s life," WWE said in a statement.
At about 1:25 a.m. Wednesday, someone alerted officers on patrol that a body had washed ashore on Venice Beach, the Los Angeles Police Department said. Officials
identified the deceased as the former WWE star.
Lifeguards and the US Coast Guard had continued to search for Gaspard after res- cuing his son, who was evalu- ated at the scene and did not need to be taken to the hospi- tal.
Gaspard was best known in professional wrestling as part of the Cryme Tyme duo with Jayson Anthony Paul, known as JTG, the company said. He appeared in WWE programs from 2006 to 2010 and also appeared in several TV shows and movies, including Brothers and Get Hard.

The New England Patriots may have to heavily rely on their defense for the next few years with Tom Brady gone, and they will now have a key member of that unit under contract for at least four more seasons.
The Patriots have agreed to a two-year extension with safety Patrick Chung.
Chung’s base salary was scheduled to be $2.9 million this season and $1.9 million in 2021, so the Patriots gave him a raise while likely freeing up some salary cap space.

The Seahawks have made a contract offer to Freeman.
