Malcolm-Jamal Warner was swimming with his 8-year-old daughter when he drowned, cops say
The Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner was reportedly swimming with his eight-year-old daughter when he drowned, Costa Rican authorities have said. Warner, best known for his role as Theo Huxtable on the Eighties sitcom, was vacationing with his family in Cahuita, Limón, over the weekend, when he died after being 'dragged' by a water current at a nearby beach. At the time of the fatal incident, Warner was in the water with his young daughter when surfers noticed the pair struggling, police told ABC News. The surfers dove in to help them, with one using his surfboard to bring Warner's daughter to safety. A volunteer lifeguard assisted in bringing Warner and another surfer to shore, authorities said. On the beach, Warner was attended to by first responders, who rendered him CPR before he was declared dead, the Costa Rican Red Cross confirmed to The Independent. 'The scene was subsequently handed over to the police authorities for the appropriate legal procedures,' the organization said in a statement. It's unclear if the second surfer pulled out of the water was the unnamed male who was rushed to a local Limón clinic in critical condition, after also being caught in the dangerous water current that led to Warner's death. 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. 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 by submersion and ruled an accident, police confirmed, per ABC News. While best known for his work on The Cosby Show, Warner had more recently appeared in Sons of Anarchy, The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story, and The Resident. His tragic death has been mourned by fans, co-stars, and colleagues alike. Warner's famous ex, Regina King, whom he dated from 2011 to 2013, posted a tribute to her Instagram Story on Monday. 'Some people leave a lasting imprint, not just for who they were but for the energy they carried. I'm sending prayers filled with love and understanding to your family and loved ones,' she wrote. 'Rest easy Malcolm-Jamal Warner.' His Malcom & Eddie co-star Eddie Griffin remembered 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.' Geoffrey Owens, who co-starred with Warner on The Cosby Show, additionally reflected on the actor's sudden death in a statement made to Us Weekly. 'This tragedy has almost left me speechless,' he said. '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 had the mind of an actor and the heart of a musician. 'He was generous too,' Owens added. 'I did a theater project long ago and asked him to participate, and he was there for me. My heart goes out to his family.'

No additional details were released. The Hollywood incident follows another reported shark bite last week in Volusia County. According to county officials, 18-year-old surf instructor Sam Hollis was bitten on the foot while surfing off New Smyrna Beach, about 60 miles northeast of Orlando. ABC affiliate WFTV reported his injuries are non-life-threatening. "It just grabbed me by my foot and just yanked me off my board and was like, yeah, 'I'm having you for a little snack man.' And then I was like having none of that so I kicked it," Hollis said.

Moment ‘mini-tsunami' sweeps SIDEWAYS across tourist beach injuring 8 injured as freak wave drags sunbathers over rocks
THIS is the shocking moment a "mini-tsunami" swept sideways across a tourist beach - leaving eight people injured. Freak waves dragged bathers towards rocks as they took a dip in the sea in the Costa de la Luz in Spain. 6 6 6 6 A 60,000-ton cargo ship has been blamed for stirring the water and causing the freak waves to rip through the Spanish beach - but sideways. Footage showed dark-coloured water speeding towards the beach before hitting a large rock in the water and rebounding back onto the sand. A woman sunbathing on the beach could be overheard yelling: 'The rock, the rock,' as she scrambled to escape the wave. Many people were hurt after they were smashed against rocks to the left. The bizarre water waves, dubbed "mini-tsunami" by the beachgoers, left sunshades scattered over the sand. A huge cargo ship - thought to be the one that caused the freak waves - was seen in the background. One witness said afterwards on social media: 'It passed very close to the shore and caused a strong wave that swept several people away. 'People were literally thrown to the ground.' Another blamed the cargo ship, saying: "It was a huge ship and then it caught the expansive wave like a tsunami, which absorbs the water and then expels it very forcefully.' Watch terrifying moment massive freak waves batter Peru sweeping away boats & swamping seaside towns One of the bathers hurt had to be hospitalised. The woman, identified only as 28-year-old Rocio, said from her hospital bed: 'I've got a broken foot and I'm waiting to be operated on. 'I was coming out of the water with a paddleboard when the wave hit me from the left and knocked me to the ground. 'I couldn't see anything and got trapped under the board. I only found out what had happened and that a ship was to blame when I got to hospital.' She told a Spanish TV station: 'I've got to have an operation on my foot and I've got a long period of rehabilitation ahead of me. 'It's the last thing I wanted at the start of the summer.' An investigation into the incident has been launched, with local authorities trying to find whether the cargo ship had breached rules and came too close to the beach. The local harbour master's office said overnight, a new speed limit in the area for this type of vessel had been set at 11.5 knots to avoid another "mini-tsunami". Last year, massive freak waves swept away boats and swamped seaside towns in Peru. Footage captured the monster swells battering the coast of the South American country on the Pacific Ocean. 6 6
