Malcolm-Jamal Warner Drowning: Person Who Tried to Save Actor's Life Discharged from Hospital
More information is surfacing on the condition of the other person who was involved in the incident that ultimately took Malcolm-Jamal Warner's life. The person was identified as a 29-year-old man from Nicaragua, according to Dr. Mauricio Solano Corella, Medical Director for the Talamanca Health Area. It was again confirmed that he was in the water trying to help Warner, who the Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) previously told PEOPLE was "swept away by a current." The man was taken to a local hospital in "critical condition," but has since been discharged. After receiving treatment from the Costa Rican Red Cross and at a local hospital, the second victim made a full recovery. The man was "treated, found to be stable and was discharged without complications," Dr. Corella told PEOPLE in a statement. Warner, best known for his role as Theo on , drowned on Sunday, July 20, while swimming during a family trip to Costa Rica. In the wake of the actor's tragic death at the age of 54, the Costa Rican Red Cross told PEOPLE a second person was in critical condition after being taken to the hospital from the same incident. The Costa Rican Red Cross said it responded to a "water-related" incident at Playa Grande in Cahutia, Limón, at around 2:10 p.m. local time on Sunday. Three ambulances were sent to the scene, where they "attended" to two adult male patients. While the Costa Rican Red Cross declared Warner dead at the scene after 20 minutes of CPR, the second individual was taken to a local clinic in Limón for treatment. The Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) told PEOPLE in a statement on Tuesday, July 22, that the other person was trying to save Warner. An OIJ spokesperson exclusively confirmed to PEOPLE that the second victim "came in [the water] to help Mr. Warner." The organization said that Warner "was apparently swept away by a current" and was "rescued by bystanders," but was ultimately "declared lifeless" on the shore. No information regarding the identity of the second victim has been shared, but the OIJ spokesperson confirmed they had no personal connection to Warner. An investigation is still ongoing, per authorities. Warner's official cause of death was confirmed on July 22 after an autopsy was performed earlier that day. The OIJ confirmed that Warner died from accidental asphyxiation by submersion. The organization said Warner's body was formally identified by Costa Rican National Police and will be "removed from the Judicial Morgue by a funeral service company hired and authorized by Mr. Warner's family."

Ozzy Osbourne's gigantic net worth his 6 kids could inherit in 'complex' case
Ozzy Osbourne was surrounded by his family when the Black Sabbath frontman passed away on 22 July at the age of 76. During his rock 'n' roll life, Ozzy welcomed six children; three with ex-wife Thelma Riley and three with Sharon Osbourne. The star shared Jessica, Louis and Elliot with Thelma, and Jack, Kelly, and Aimee with Sharon. Related content Ozzy Osbourne called a 'trailblazer' in heartbreaking tributes from stars Ozzy Osbourne's health battles before tragic death at 76 – explained Rare photos of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne's 5 grandchildren As one of the faces of heavy metal, Ozzy amassed a staggering fortune during his life, with much of his income derived from his music career. However, thanks to Ozzfest and his ventures into reality television, he was able to earn money through other sources of income. Discover the fortune that Ozzy will be leaving behind to his nearest and dearest… Ozzy's net worth At the time of his death, Ozzy was believed to be worth £162 million. A lot of the money will have come from his time with Black Sabbath, as well as his successful music career. Back in 1979, when he was fired from Black Sabbath, the star got a payout of £96,000, though he admitted he spent most of this on "coke and booze", believing that he would be heading back "to Birmingham and the dole". The star's wealth was a far cry from his early life. Before becoming famous, he'd worked in construction, plumbing and toolmaking. When he was 17, he was jailed for six weeks for robbing a clothes store after he was unable to pay the fine. Alongside his music career, Ozzy is also the founder of Ozzfest, a music festival that ran on and off between 1996 and 2018. The event celebrated heavy metal and hard rock music and Ozzy would often make appearances at the festival. It's believed that over the years, the festival brought in £73 million, while merchandise sold meant that the star became the first ever metal star to earn over $50 million in merchandise sales alone. Music wasn't Ozzy's only source of income, as the star also became a flourishing reality television star with his show, The Osbournes. The MTV show followed the family and aired between 2002 and 2005; it also helped to launch the reality television careers of his children Kelly and Jack. Alongside this, Ozzy also appeared in adverts for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and World of Warcraft, while his likeness was used in Guitar Hero World Tour. Who gets the money? Following Ozzy's death, dividing up his fortune could get difficult. Adam Jones, a family legal specialist from HD Claims, explained that the situation could get "complex", stating: "While Sharon is likely to inherit at least 50%, there are six children involved, and any disputes could delay things for months." He added: "Unless Ozzy made clear arrangements in a will or trust, UK and US laws would assume his spouse inherits the bulk, but all children would have a claim. In blended families, this often leads to rows if things aren't watertight." Adam also warned of the possibility of a "full legal challenge" depending on how each of the parties feel about what Ozzy has left them. "If even one of Ozzy's older children feels left out or short-changed, it could trigger a full legal challenge," he said. "This is where you see things get ugly — and public. This isn't just about money, it's about preserving legacy. The best outcome is a clear will, respected by all parties. But if anything's ambiguous? Expect headlines."

Latest national crime stats report shows Regina trending in positive direction: acting RPS chief
Regina saw an 11-per-cent decrease in the volume and severity of police-reported crime last year, as measured by the Crime Severity Index (CSI), according to a recent Statistics Canada report. Nationally, Canada saw a four-per-cent decrease in the same statistic, over the same period, which follows three consecutive years of increases. Released this week, the report entitled 'Police-reported crime statistics in Canada, 2024' outlines changes in the CSI and other crimes rates from 2023 to 2024. Crime rate is the total number of crimes per 100,000 population. The national figure decreased by four per cent from 2023 to 2024, while Regina's crime rate dropped by seven per cent. However, Regina's 2024 rate of 7,503 sits well above the national average of 5,672. For 2024, Regina ranked ninth highest in the country for crime rate among the 41 measured census metropolitan areas (CMAs). The city ranked 11th highest in terms of CSI for 2024 — this is down from ninth place for the year prior. Speaking to reporters at Regina Police Service (RPS) headquarters earlier this week, Acting Chief Lorilee Davies said, for the most part, the report comes as really good news. 'I can recall the days when Regina was number one for crime severity and crime rate,' she said. Chilliwack, Red Deer and Kamloops registered the first-, second- and third-highest crime rates among measured CMAs in 2024, respectively. Saskatoon ranked sixth highest. Davies addressed the fact that it was mostly western cities ranking high on the list for both crime rate and CSI. 'We have long standing issues, I would say, in regards to vulnerable persons, marginalized people, that tend to lead to — example — higher incarceration rates. And so I think that we tend to see that play out in Western Canada.' While Davies acknowledged downward trends in crime stats were seen across the country, she pointed to police visibility, community engagement and work done by specialized units related to traffic and drugs, as being among factors which may have contributed in Regina. Despite the positive trend, she spoke about shoplifting being a 'pressure point' in the city. The crime saw an increase of 14 per cent across Canada, from 2023 to 2024. 'We have a property unit that is working very proactively with retailers, with loss prevention officers to try and get a handle on it,' she said. For the current year so far, Davies said trends in many Regina crime statistics are looking positive again. But despite those positive trends, she said there is more work to be done in order to continue in the right direction. She said some crimes, such as homicide, police have little control over. But Davies noted that continuing efforts at visibility, engagement and collaboration is something the RPS can focus on, as well as looking for best practices from across the country. bharder@ Related Crime stats explained: What do the rankings really say about crime in Saskatchewan?
