According to multiple reports, Gaspard went missing at sea during a swim at Venice Beach on Sunday with his 10-year-old son. The two 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, TMZ notes.
Gaspard’s son was rescued. However, the 39-year-old pro wrestler has not been found. One witness at the scene told the news site that when lifeguards raced into the ocean, Gaspard directed rescuers to help his son first, which they did. But one official working with the L.A. Fire Dept. told media they believe the 39-year-old “did submerge.”
Officials have shared a missing poster alert showing the last picture he took that Sunday. As TMZ notes Shad was at the beach that day with his wife and their 10-year-old son.
Many fans and social media users have been praying for Gaspard to return safely.
