A source close to Warner said he was on vacation with his wife and young daughter and that the incident appears to have been accidental. As of Monday night, Warner's wife is attempting to retrieve his body to the United States for a funeral, the source said.

He then went on to star in several popular television series of the late 1990s and early 2000s centered on Black characters, including "Malcolm & Eddie," "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," "Keenan & Kel" and "All That." In addition to Beyoncé, news of Warner's death prompted an outpouring of grief from Hollywood and other prominent Black celebrities, including Earvin "Magic" Johnson. Tracee Ellis Ross posted an image of her and Warner on Instagram on Monday. The pair starred in the BET sitcom "Reed Between the Lines" from 2011 to 2015. "My heart is so so sad. What an actor and friend you were: warm, gentle, present, kind, thoughtful, deep, funny, elegant," she wrote. "You made the world a brighter place." Holly Robinson Peete, whose father wrote and produced "The Cosby Show," also posted an image of her with Warner on Instagram on Monday. "He was always gracious, kind, funny and gave the absolute best hugs," she wrote. "Even if you never met him — you feel like you knew him. That's how universally loved he was." Geoffrey Owens, who played Elvin Tibideaux on "The Cosby Show," said in a statement that he was "speechless" over Warner's death. "Malcolm was a lovely man; a sweet and sensitive soul. I respected him for many reasons, including the fact that he genuinely loved the act of creation," he said. "He had the mind of an actor and the heart of a musician." Beyoncé has previously dedicated her website to high-profile deaths of Black Americans. In 2023, she honored a 28-year-old gay man, O'Shae Sibley, who was dancing to her music just before being stabbed to death in Brooklyn
