Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner's cause of death is confirmed as heartbreaking details emerge about 2nd victim
THE Cosby Show actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner died from asphyxia due to submersion, an autopsy has determined.
Warner, 54, was swept away into the ocean by a strong rip current after going for a swim in waters off the coast of Cocles, a beach in Limon, Costa Rica.
Warner, one of the stars of the 1980s sitcom classic, was in Costa Rica, about three hours southeast of the capital of San Jose, enjoying a family holiday when the unimaginable tragedy occurred.
The Costa Rican Caribbean lifeguards said fellow beachgoers pulled the actor's body from underwater back onto shore, but Warner had no vital signs.
