Report: Former WWE Star Shad Gaspard Search Efforts Suspended

Authorities have suspended their search to find former WWE star Shad Gaspard, according to TMZ Sports.

TMZ Sports spoke to the U.S. Coast Guard, who said the case will not be closed until officials find the missing person. At least one boat reportedly was still searching Tuesday morning, but the efforts have been "drastically scaled back."

Gaspard first went missing at Venice Beach late Sunday afternoon when he was swimming with his son. The former wrestler got caught in a strong rip current after he waved lifeguards to attend to his son.

Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Margaret Stewart confirmed Sunday that authorities responded to a call for two reported missing swimmers.
