Gaspard passed away in 2020; he was swimming with his son when they were caught in a rip current, and he told lifeguards to save his child. His son was saved, but Gaspard lost his life, as he was pulled under by the current.
WWE honored Gaspard by naming him as the recipient of the Warrior Award in 2022.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
