Missing after several swimmers had to be rescued from strong current. Does not look good...

Just saw that on Twitter and was like "OMG! I got to go on TSM and tell Baby Shoes." Not sure why I associate you with late '00s/early '10s WWE.

Very sad story. Hoping for a miracle for Big Shad :'(

I'm not optimistic, but we can only hope. It sounds like he tried to get to rescuers to save his son first :'(

At least it looks he was able to help his son get rescued. So damn tragic. By all accounts, he seemed like a class act.

Love that JTG is stuck in 2010 when it was cool to say #NoHomo forever.

Not officially confirmed but a lot of noise that a body was found and probably Shad Gaspard's. Terrible, but at least it will give the family some closure.

WWE.com is confirming his passing. While it's horrible that he passed away at such a young age and his son lost a father, it shows what a man he was with the way he went out.

Rest in Power Shad

He did what any great father would do and made sure his child was safe.

RIP Shad

Yeah, it's awful he passed but he's a fucking champion for ensuring his son's safety. RIP.

Shad also stopped a robbery some time ago in addition to saving his son. R.I.P.
