The Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner has died of accidental drowning at the age of 54, TMZ reports.
TMZ cites an “an unconfirmed, though reliable source” for its report on the cause of the shock death. The circumstances of his drowning have not yet been reported. Warner’s latest project, his podcast Not All Hood, which encourages a more nuanced perspective on the lives of Black Americans, aired its most recent episode three days ago.
Warner starred on The Cosby Show from 1984 until the show’s end in 1992, where he portrayed the oldest of the Huxtable’s children, Theo. He’s since taken on several roles on both the big and small screen, and most recently appeared in Alert: Missing Persons Unit and 911.
Warner leaves behind a wife and daughter.
