Bill Cosby Reacts to Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s Death | E! News

Bill Cosby is mourning the loss of his on-screen son. Shortly after news broke that the Cosby show alum Malcolm Jamal Warner, who portrayed Theo Huxable on the NBC comedy, had accidentally drowned at the age of 54, Cosby is reacting to the tragic death. The 88-year-old’s rep, Andrew Wyatt, confirms to E! news that when Cosby received the call of Warner’s passing, the news was just as devastating to him as when he learned of his own son Andis Cosby’s 1997 murder, which was the result of a failed robbery attempt. The rep also notes that Cosby spoke of his late son and Warner playing together as children, noting they were amazing together. Cosby also expressed per the rep that he believes Warner created a lasting impact through his life and work that will continue to change the world just as he did as part of the Huxable family on the NBC sitcom. Prior to his passing, Warner had been vacationing in Costa Rica and was swimming in the ocean July 20th. Costa Rica’s judicial investigation agency confirmed to ENUS in a translated statement which added, “Regarding the preliminary investigation, the victim appears to have entered the sea and was apparently swept away by a current. The man was rescued by bystanders and taken to shore where he received treatment from the Costa Rican Red Cross. However, he was declared lifeless at the scene. Costa Rican National Police later confirmed to ABC News that Warner’s cause of death was esphixia, a condition where the body is deprived of oxygen that can be caused by drowning. [Music]
