A body matching the description of former WWE wrestler Shad Gaspard, who went missing while swimming with his son over the weekend, was found Wednesday morning at Venice Pier.
Chief Ken Haskett, with the fire department's Lifeguard Section, told NBC News that the lifeguard tried to pull Gaspard and his son to safety.
Gaspard pushed his son to the lifeguard, before"he got pushed back down under a wave, and that's the last he's been seen," Haskett said. In a statement posted on Tuesday, the wrestling organization said,"WWE’s thoughts are with the family of Shad Gaspard. Please continue to keep them in your thoughts during this difficult time."
