Former WWE wrestler Shad Gaspard urged a lifeguard to save his young son and pushed him toward the rescuer as he was swept out to sea, days before Gaspard’s body washed ashore.

Los Angeles County lifeguards said a body discovered early Wednesday on Venice Beach matched the description of the ex-pro wrestler, who disappeared on Sunday after his heroic final actions helped save his son.

Gaspard’s 10-year-old son, Aryeh, was rescued during Sunday’s drama.

“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, per KTLA.

Gaspard then pushed his son to the lifeguard and disappeared.
