Last week actor Malclom-Jamal Warner tragically drowned off the Coast of Costa Rica after getting caught in a rip current [click here if you missed that].
After multiple conflicting reports [click here and here if you missed that], a doctor who claims he was on the beach and assisted with the recovery efforts speaks out...
From US
A doctor who was on the scene and helped recover the late Malcolm-Jamal Warner from a Costa Rica ocean is speaking out.
“I was about 200 meters from the incident, at Playa Grande, spending the day on vacation with my partner,” the doctor — who asked for their identity not to be revealed — exclusively shared with Us Weekly. “There were very few people on the beach, and the sea was rough.”
When the doctor heard a group of people shouting and calling for help, the medical professional quickly sprang into action.
“I ran to the area and entered the sea with my surfboard, heading into the rip current toward the person being pointed at by some beachgoers,” the doctor recalled. “After a few minutes, I saw a shadow, dove down and pulled the person out.”
When the doctor was able to reach the beach, another young man was lying on the sand, struggling to breathe.
“[He was] just someone who tried to help during the emergency, without any rescue equipment,” said the doctor.
Elberth León, head of the Tourist Police for Costa Rica’s Atlantic region, previously confirmed to Us that emergency personnel attended to two adult male patients at the scene. One man was transported in critical condition to the local clinic. He has since been released.
The other individual, later identified as Warner, was unable to be resuscitated.
“Immediately, [first responders] began providing first aid to Malcolm, but he had no vital signs,” the doctor recalled. “Two tourists ran over to help. They identified themselves as doctors, making a total of three physicians at the scene.”
After a few minutes, the Red Cross arrived and used specialized equipment, including a defibrillator. Tragically, Warner did not respond and was pronounced dead at the scene at age 54.
The Cosby Show alum, who is survived by his wife and daughter, had been vacationing in Costa Rica.
According to León, both Warner and his daughter were caught in a rip current when the drowning accident occurred, with one of the bystanders able to get the actor’s daughter back to land safely.
“Obviously, as a father, he fought for his daughter,” León shared, “but the current in that area is very strong, and they couldn’t accomplish the objective.”

Malcolm didn't use very good judgment getting into those rough waters.
I'm tired of all these mixed messages! I want to hear from Malcolm's family! this is crazy!
OKAY SO ACCORDING TO THE DOCTOR THE DAUGHTER WAS IN THE WATER AND WAS RESCUED!
Not all caps, just really frustrated by this story!
All this is happening while the wife/mom is lying on her beach towel.
It's extremely poor judgement. Had he not gone in the water given the risks he would have been still alive. We all need to be careful. It's a cautionary tale and a lesson that we need to use our discernment as much as we can for each situation we face. We only have one life. Now we're dealing with conflicting reports and secrecy that's making everything look suspicious. But how was he coaxed to go into this water with his chlld? That was an unfortunate decision he made.
PART 1
From the article posted above by US Weekly
The anonymous doctor who gave this interview to US Weekly stated the below.
“I was about 200 meters from the incident, at Playa Grande, "
* The Incident with Malcom happen at Playa Cocles a completely different beach
"According to León, (Department of Tourism) both Warner and his daughter were caught in a rip current when the drowning accident occurred, with one of the bystanders able to get the actor’s daughter back to land safely" - Us Weekly
* This directly contradicts the interview
by People Magazine with Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) who told PEOPLE that Warner's daughter was not in the water with him when he drowned. "Mr. Warner was playing with his daughter at the seashore at one point. He then left her out of the water, and he and a friend of his entered the sea,"
- People Magazine
" Two tourists ran over to help. They identified themselves as doctors, making a total of three physicians at the scene.”
* 3 Random Doctors now, lol lol lol just happened, to have been on the scene, BEFORE emergency services arrived and of course none of them wants to be named. There is saying in Media. "Unnamed sources are liars"
PART 2
(none of what has been written by the press can be confirmed.That includes what I'm a posting below which comes from social media.All of this is speculation, innuendo, & rumored at this point.)
What I have been able to gleen , from social media comments from those speculated to have worked with him, & tidbits from supposed family
*The autopsy has conflicting data
*He may have been dead before he ended up in water
*The vacation was supposed to be a romantic retreat, an attempt at marriage restoration. They had a big fight and the wife abruptly left Costa Rico WITH the daughter supposedly right after the fight.
*The wife is missing, parts unknown and has not returned to USA
His name is spelled “Malcolm Jamal-Warner”
"the doctor — who asked for their identity not to be revealed — exclusively shared with Us Weekly. “There were very few people on the beach, and the sea was rough.”
Any body in there right mind think Malcom took his daughters hand and just jumped in a rough looking ocean
NOPE! Try again Doc...to level headed, to smart, too protective of his daughter
This article is a Department of Tourism Fluff peace
The truth only need to be told once.
@1:51
OMG when did they have the fight and when did the wife leave with the daughter? She hasn't yet returned to the US? So is the daughter also missing? Why isn't the family asking these questions? Why isn't MJW's mom not asking for her grandbaby's return?
I know I've been fixated on the wife but the story they're giving is not making sense. Who suggested this trip given the risks? Is it implied that she set this up and now on the run? Who's covering for her? Was the wife even there at the beach? Why even place the mom and daughter at the beach if they weren't there? Him being alone at the beach wouldn't have prompted so many questions.
I'm also SMH at the statistical improbability of 3 random doctors also vacationing at the scene when this happened when there were only a few people there.
When signs say it's dangerous, it's because it's extremely dangerous. Not even the best swimmer can always outsmart a rip tide or under current. Never fight against it, go with it until you can break loose.
His family can't tell what they don't know.
'Malcolm-Jamal Warner' is correct.
In this digital age
None of the very few beach goers
That was there
Didnt video anything
No pics or nothing?
Especially during the heroic rescue?
If it was in States, everybody would have
Had their phones and cameras out
Even if the person wasnt famous
Why spread social media comments?! Straight conspiracies! Misinformation is everywhere!! He drowned. Anything else needs to be spoken by his wife or mother… IF they feel it necessary to speak at all!!
The Costa Rican reports are giving conflicting information on a daily basis. There are so many holes in the story that it reeks of a cover up. God forbid this happens to someone in your family or friend and the media from another country is BSing with obvious conflicting stories that insult your intelligence. That's why people are upset. This could happen to anyone traveling abroad.
I have been thinking about all of the above. No pictures, no direct account from anyone he was traveling with, multiple accounts from strangers that don't add up and the tourism spin to protect business and avoid liability. Strange and concerning.
Then type normal 10:59, why you typing in all caps when you clearly trying to be All Caps by typing in ALL CAPS about a story that doesn't effect you directly? We know what you doing so cut the $h!t with it.
^^^ Or what? Tough, ain’t cha?
The wife may be from Costa Rica, which is why they were vacationing there, and why the government is keeping her out the story to protect her anonymity.
I'm wondering if they're legally married though. It doesn't matter how private and anonymous you want to be--aren't marriage licenses public? If they're not legally married, she may forfeit being executor of his estate. This may be the next story down the line--who will be in control of his estate and assets given his parents are still alive.
6:32 that part
No one knows what happened.
Those people that were there are traumatized.
Imagine having America's favorite son in your arms on a beach trying your very best to pull him back from the after life.
Oceans are dangerous. Malcolm-Jamal drowned in the ocean. The end.
The 1 who responds is the Guilty Party, huh, Karenda/^^^7:40? Just Cut the sh!t!
In full agreement w/12:40. This matter doesn't call 4 typing in all capitals ending w/exclamation points, 10:59 so calm all that shiz down.
WHO CARES YOU TROLL. I CAN USE ALL CAPS WHEN I WANT FOR EMPHASIS AND NOT AS A PERSONALITY. WASH YOUR A$$ AND GET OFF MY COMMENTS!
Oh THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME: THE COMPLAINTS ARE OFFICIALLY FILED AGAINST RWS & BLOGGER.COM! COUNTDOWN TO RWS POSSIBLY GOING DARK BEGINS..... NOW
Not Caps/@9:43 pm-If you're commenting multiple times on the same post it's YOU WHO NEEDS 2 "WASH YOUR A$$ & GET OFF THESE NUTZ/COMMENTS"!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^^
But you're using all caps too and proving their point. You are a troll. No one else had an issue about the original comment but you and just derailed the post with this nonsense.
@ 3:52 PM aka Nutty....This is my second time posting on this thread. I'm talking about oceans and you're accusing me of being guilty. Of what? I'm an original, darling. I do not copy anyone. Stop calling your Copy Caps nemesis by my name. What did I tell you about playing detective? Two plus two equals five with you every single time.
OT: What happened 2 MJW is extremely tragic but can also act as a learning experience that water is extremely dangerous especially with rip currents are active.We can only offer respects 2 his memory and prayers 2 his loved ones.
@12:38 & @12:45am Are the same commenter! Who else would be up @ midnight commenting back to back but All Caps Wannabe?!? U respond multiple times as Anon, Karenda, and S&S-peeped that a while ago and decided never to respond to your ^^^'s b/c I know it's the Site Resident who lives in here and want ppl 2 believe u don't. So sad.
Like 3:52 pm said: "The 1 who responds is the guilty party!" Indeed.
@11:31, Thank God that can't come fast enuff! This site issa bore.
