New details have emerged in the death of Malcolm-Jamal Warner.
According to Elberth León, head of the Tourist Police for Costa Rica’s Atlantic region, Warner died after he and his daughter found themselves dragged by an ocean current when the drowning accident occurred on Sunday, July 20.
"Both were dragged by the current," León told UsWeekly on Thursday, July 24. "They were bathing together and were caught by a rip current. Obviously, as a father, he fought for his daughter, but the current in that area is very strong, and they couldn't accomplish the objective."
León said authorities received a 911 call near Playa Grande, Cahuita, Limón. When tourist police arrived, Red Cross personnel were already at the scene.
"They indicated that Mr. Malcolm was in the water enjoying himself with his daughter. At that moment, they were dragged by a rip current," León said. "Two people who were there at the location went in with a surfboard and a boogie board to help rescue the people who were caught in the current."
One person managed to get Warner's daughter back to land safely. Soon after, the unidentified individual had to help another adult male victim.
"They managed to stay with the girl, managed to get her onto the board, but due to the strength of the current, one of them, from Nicaragua, had to let go of the board and push it toward the shore so the girl could make it to land or the coast," León continued. "The person who pushed the board was also dragged by the current, so it forced the person with the board to go back into the sea to pull him out. They managed to get him out in critical condition. He was very exhausted."
Warner was later pulled out by the Red Cross lifeguards and one of the rescuers from Caribbean Guards without vital signs, León said. The other victim was transported in critical condition to the local clinic while CPR was performed on Warner.The actor was later pronounced dead at the scene. He was 54 years old.
Warner was best known for his role as Theodore "Theo" Huxtable in The Cosby Show, for which he received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
He is survived by a wife and daughter whose identities he kept private.
