Yesterday it was reported that actor Malcom Jamal Warner drowned in Costa Rica [click here if you missed that].
According to reports Warner, along with another person, were dragged out to sea by a rip current...
From People
Costa Rican first responders also treated a second person at the scene where Malcolm-Jamal Warner was declared dead on Sunday, July 20, the Costa Rican Red Cross tells PEOPLE.
The Costa Rican Red Cross received a report of a “water-related” incident at the Playa Grande resort in Cahuita, Limón at around 2:10 p.m. on Sunday, the organization said in a statement. Three ambulances were sent to the scene, where they “attended” to two adult male patients.
One was taken to a local Limón clinic in critical condition. First responders performed CPR on the second individual, Warner, who was declared dead at the scene, the Costa Rican Red Cross said.
“The scene was subsequently handed over to the police authorities for the appropriate legal procedures,” the Costa Rican Red Cross’ statement read.
When asked for further information, the Costa Rican Red Cross said the report they have is that “two people were dragged by a water current at the beach,” and both patients were out of the water when their paramedics arrived.
Earlier on Monday, July 21, the Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) confirmed in a statement obtained by PEOPLE that Warner “appears to have entered the sea and was apparently swept away by a current.” Bystanders “rescued” Warner and took him to shore, where he was treated by the Costa Rican Red Cross. “However, he was declared lifeless at the scene,” the OIJ statement read.

Hollywood Child Stars, when grown up often live lives tortured by trauma. Malcom was the exception, in learning so he adapted safety mechanisms to protect his peace. As such he never disclosed the name of his wife or only child. All that is know is he had a sensitive and vulnerable heart and searched and found love off the beaten path - far outside - of the trappings of the industry.
Getting, accurrate investigative reports, medical reports, police reports for insurance purposes, burial purposes, in this tiny, rural, mountainous, costal town with no ambulance or emergency
hospital, and a mayberry police department, is going to be a nightmare. Add on Costa Ricas reputation for corruption.
Getting the Body back to America & Settlement, Insurance, Estate & Will issues for a death across international waters in Costa Rica between his family & his wife is going to be very messey & all over the press. It appears his wife is of Latin origin possibly from the region
Name of the other person who was brought to shore with him is left off all reports. I looked every where. Why ?
Because the other person isn't famous and isn't dead. He was just somebody else at the beach.
@8:46 I've been doing some looking around at the local news in that specific area.Typically beach incidents that require emergency services,all parties are named its just standard procedure.
I also discovered the local town of the beach has no ambulance, or hospital.The town over, has to to respond. So no emergency services.The small town is, rural, costal, and mountainous.
You can tell when people don't get out much. I've to Costa Rica and it's primarily rural, mountainous, dense and lush. There are also coastal areas you have to take a small plane just to get to, and then get on a boat to reach land. The oceans an rivers don't take directions and orders from Man. They give them. Swim and navigate at your own risk.
Might be his wife in hospital and they're still respecting her privacy rights.
@9:49 Your comment is repeating what some one else said in the comments above you. I'm confused.
@9:52 Can you explain your comment about the wife.
Two people wear removed from the water, one was resuscitated the other Malcom didn't make it
The beach at Playa Grande de Cocles is noted on travel blogs as having dangerous rip tides and high waves. Sharks and crocodiles may also come near shore. As a result, they strongly discourage swimming in the ocean at Playa Grande or Cabuyal.
If I knew that in advance I definitely would NOT be in the water there, let alone even travel there. I wonder if he knew of the hidden dangers there.
The ocean is to be feared. While beautiful, it is dangerous and plays by it's own rules. If your not a good swimmer only swim during slack tide. If caught in a current, always swim with it parallel to the shore. Once your out the current, swim to shore and walk back. Never ever try to swim against the current.
Please post the Cosby interview about him.
It’s so sad I just saw his last IG… he was talking about the negativity of the algorithm on the internet. How self- care is important… if it’s serving the Lord, vacationing, enjoying love in peace.. WOW.. the 👹 has selfish ads, speak through people by them judging, with bad algorithms make people want to get away from their own personal h3ll . I’m sorry Malcolm that you had to get away from low vibrational people R.I.P.

Any way this is viewed it's still a sad and avoidable tragedy
8:24 His wife is Puerto Rican.
What happened to him is sad and a reminder to stay out of the ocean. I don’t get the hype of swimming in waters infested with amphibian excretions and Whale sperm, yuck. I took courses in marine biology many moons ago. I never went past my feet in the ocean again.
I hope he has a memorial service if not a public funeral. He was one of us. We saw ourselves in Theo and we liked the man Malcolm became.
