Malcolm-Jamal Warner death: Second man in critical condition after both were ‘dragged by water current' in Costa Rica
A second man is reportedly in critical condition after he was also 'dragged' by the fatal water current killed the 54-year-old Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner in Costa Rica. Warner, best known for his role as Theo Huxtable on the beloved Eighties sitcom The Cosby Show, died Sunday. News of his death was initially reported Monday, shocking his colleagues and fans around the world. New details have since emerged, including the condition of the second unidentified man who was also pulled from the water. On Sunday at around 2:10 p.m., the Costa Rican Red Cross received a report about a 'water-related' incident involving two males at the Playa Grande resort in Cahuita, Limón, the organization said in a statement shared with The Independent. When medics arrived, they 'attended' to both men. While one was rushed to a local Limón clinic in critical condition, the other, Warner, was given CPR before being pronounced dead at the scene, the Costa Rican Red Cross said. 'The scene was subsequently handed over to the police authorities for the appropriate legal procedures,' the organization said. The Costa Rican Red Cross additionally told People that, according to their report, 'two people were dragged by a water current at the beach.' By the time first responders arrived, both men were out of the ocean. In an earlier statement shared Monday, per People, the Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) confirmed that Warner 'appears to have entered the sea and was apparently swept away by a current.' Bystanders 'rescued' Warner from the water and brought him to shore. 'However, he was declared lifeless at the scene,' the OIJ statement said. The actor's official cause of death was asphyxia, Costa Rican National Police confirmed, per ABC News. Warner, best known for his role on The Cosby Show, more recently appeared in Sons of Anarchy, The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story, and The Resident. Several celebrities and co-stars have paid tribute to Warner, with his Malcom & Eddie co-star Eddie Griffin remembering him as 'my big little brother.' 'My Heart is heavy today… For what the world lost was a Father a Son a Poet a Musician a Actor a Teacher a Writer a Director a Friend a Warrior that I had the pleasure of going to war with against the Hollywood machine and sometimes with each other because that's what Brothers do but the Love was and is always there,' Griffin wrote on Instagram. 'You've taught me so much and I thank you.' Tracee Ellis Ross, who starred with Warner as a married couple in Reed Between the Lines, wrote in a heartfelt Instagram post: 'I love you, Malcolm. First I met you as Theo with the rest of the world then you were my first TV husband. My heart is so so sad. What an actor and friend you were: warm, gentle, present, kind, thoughtful, deep, funny, elegant. You made the world a brighter place. Sending so much love to your family. I'm so sorry for this unimaginable loss.'

Malcolm-Jamal Warner Drowned in Area Known for Rip Currents
The beach in Costa Rica where Malcolm-Jamal Warner drowned was known for its strong surf and dangerous rip currents, and was not protected by lifeguards when he died on Sunday. A second man who was rescued from the sea that day was in critical condition, the authorities said. Warner, who shot to fame as a teenager when he played Theo Huxtable on 'The Cosby Show' from 1984 to 1992, was swimming at a beach on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, south of Limón, when he was 'apparently swept away by a current' around 2 p.m. on Sunday, the nation's Judicial Investigation Department said in a statement. Three ambulances, a jet ski and nine rescuers were dispatched to the area, Playa Grande, a popular tourist destination, a spokesman for the Costa Rican Red Cross said in a statement. Warner, 54, was pulled from the sea and given CPR for more than 20 minutes, but attempts to resuscitate him failed, officials said. A second man, 35, was rescued and taken to a local clinic in critical condition, the Red Cross said. He was not identified, and no other details were given. The area, whose waves make it a favorite among surfers, is known for dangerously strong rip currents. Mike Geist, the vice president of Caribbean Guard, a group of about 35 volunteer lifeguards who patrol three beaches in the area, said a lack of resources had left the beach where Warner died unguarded on Sunday. The group had temporarily moved its team to another beach that draws more people and had recently been the site of several rescues and a fatality. 'We had to make this judgment call, and it turned out to be bad,' Geist said, lamenting that his organization did not have the funds to staff the beach every day. 'It sickens my stomach that we weren't there, because I can't tell you how many days I personally spent there on that post, in that guard stand, and because of stupid money, you know, and we just did not have enough people to do it.'
