LOS ANGELES -- The body of former World Wrestling Entertainment star Shad Gaspard was found early Wednesday on Venice Beach, where he was caught in a rip current last weekend, police said.

Patrol officers were flagged down around 1:25 a.m. by a person reporting that a body had washed ashore, a Los Angeles Police Department statement said.

"The decedent was identified as Shad Gaspard and next of kin was notified," it said.

Gaspard was 39. He went missing Sunday after he went swimming with his 10-year-old son, Aryeh. The boy was rescued, and several other swimmers made it out of the water safely after they were caught in the strong currents at Venice Beach.

Gaspard was about 50 yards from shore when he was last spotted by a lifeguard, police said. A wave crashed over him and he was swept out to sea.

"When last seen by the lifeguard, a wave had crashed over Mr. Shad Gaspard and he was swept out to sea," police said in a statement Monday.
