"Malcolm-Jamal Warner Involved in Costa Rica Drowning Incident: Second Man in Critical Condition, Reports Say"
Following the accidental drowning of actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner in Costa Rica, a second man is reportedly in critical condition.
According to the Costa Rican Red Cross, a 35-year-old man was transported to a local clinic in critical condition on July 20. Speaking with People and Us Weekly, officials confirmed that the man was involved in the same incident that claimed Warner’s life. Warner, best known for his role on The Cosby Show, was swept away by a strong current while swimming near the Playa Grande resort in Cahuita, Limón, as reported by ABC News and the Associated Press.
The Red Cross stated that it received a report of a water emergency that afternoon. Three ambulances were dispatched to the scene, where medical personnel responded to both individuals. The current condition of the 35-year-old man remains unknown.
Warner, 54, was "rescued by people on the beach," an initial report by Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Department said, according to The Associated Press, but first responders from Costa Rica's Red Cross found him without vital signs and he was taken to the morgue.
In addition to eight seasons on the hit NBC sitcom as Theo, the son of Bill Cosby's Cliff Huxtable and Phylicia Rashad's Clair Huxtable, Warner was also known for his role as Malcolm McGee in the 1990s UPN sitcom "Malcolm & Eddie" and as Dr. AJ Austin on the Fox medical drama "The Resident" from 2018 to 2023.
