SHAD GASPARD DIES WHILE SAVING HIS SON AT SEA

In mid-May, the wrestling world received the shocking news that Shad Gaspard, one half of the former popular WWE tag team Cryme Tyme, vanished at sea.

Gaspard and his son were among a group of swimmers who got caught in a strong current around at Marina Del Rey Beach in California. While lifeguards managed to save his 10-year-old son after Gaspard sacrificed himself to make sure his son is saved, he wasn’t as lucky as a wave crashed on him and put him under.

It took three days for his body to wash up ashore and on May 20, his body was recovered and identified. A massive crowdfunding campaign was launched to help the family, spearheaded by a very generous $40,000 donation by John Cena.
