According to several sources, actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner passed away at the age of 54.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Naturally, Warner\u2019s most well-known part was that of Theo Huxtable, who he played in all eight seasons of The Cosby Show.<\/p>\n

Warner drowned on Sunday, July 20, off the coast of Costa Rica, according to police, who verified this to\u00a0ABC News.<\/p>\n

The actor passed away close to Limon\u2019s Cocles beach, according to officials. Police say his body was discovered on Sunday afternoon after he got trapped in a strong current while swimming.<\/p>\n

The national police of Costa Rica legally identified Warner\u2019s remains and verified that hypoxia was the cause of his death.<\/p>\n

Warner was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series after working on The Cosby Show from 1984 until 1992.<\/p>\n

Warner most recently starred in the Fox medical drama The Resident, but he previously played a significant part in the 1990s sitcom Malcolm & Eddie.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the Cosby Show actor spoke with People on the legacy it has left behind thirty years after it ended.<\/p>\n

Warner\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cWhat made it so groundbreaking was its universality. NBC initially saw it as a show about an upper-middle-class Black family. Mr. [Bill] Cosby diligently impressed upon them that the show was about an upper-middle-class family that happened to be Black.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The show\u2019s reputation was somewhat damaged by Cosby\u2019s legal troubles, which included the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturning a conviction for sexual assault in June 2021.<\/p>\n

In the same interview, Warner commented:\u00a0\u201cRegardless of how some people may feel about the show now, I\u2019m still proud of the legacy and having been a part of such an iconic show that had such a profound impact on \u2013 first and foremost, Black culture \u2013 but also American culture.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
