Malcolm-Jamal Warner was honored by his friends and fans during a live tribute on his 'Not All Hood' podcast, led by his co-host Candace Kelley. 'The Cosby Show' actor, 54, died as a result of accidental drowning in Costa Rica0.

Officials are setting the record straight about Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s death. Despite earlier reports, Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) told People on Friday that the “Cosby Show” alum’s daughter was actually not in the water at the time of his drowning.

CHICAGO - More than 5.2 million swimming pools sold in the U.S. and Canada were recalled after reports of nine drowning deaths; a popular convention was suddenly canceled, leaving fans and vendors upset; and Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the actor best known for playing Theo Huxtable on "The Cosby Show," died at age 54.

Officials initially claimed that the actor’s 8-year-old daughter was in the ocean with him moments before he drowned.

Similarly to The Cosby Show, where Warner played Theo Huxtable, the middle child in an upper-middle-class Black family in New York in the '80s, Warner wanted to continue seeing different types of Black lives in the media — which is the intention behind Not All Hood.

The death of Malcolm-Jamal Warner was mourned by fans and admirers of the actor. He played the only son of Bill Cosby’s Cliff Huxtable on the landmark series “The Cosby Show” from 1984 to 1992.

The actor who played Theo on 'The Cosby Show' portrayed a nuanced character with humanity, inviting all of us watching to be fully human as well.

Fans mourn the loss of 1980s legends like Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner—icons who shaped a bold, unforgettable decade.
