The body of WWE star, Shad Gaspard, 39, has been found on Venice Beach early Wednesday morning.

The Coast Guard and other agencies had been searching for Gaspard since Sunday when he was swept out to sea while swimming with a group of people, including his 10-year-old son.

The two were about 50-yards offshore when they found themselves caught in dangerous surf and in need of help from lifeguards. Rescuers went into the water and brought the child back safely but could not locate Gaspard after he was struck by a large wave and pulled out to sea.

Sending condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.
