MALCOLM-JAMAL WARNER'S MOTHER SPEAKS OUT AFTER TRAGIC DEATH OF THE COSBY SHOW STAR

In a heart-wrenching interview with Good Morning America, Malcolm-Jamal Warner's mother, Pamela Warner, revealed the devastating moment she learned of her son's passing. The 54-year-old actor died in July after drowning in Costa Rica while on a trip with his family.

Pamela's emotional response to the news was like nothing she had ever experienced before. "My scream came from the bottom of my soul," she said, tears streaming down her face. "It was an indescribable pain that resonated throughout my body." The anguish of losing her son was palpable as Pamela recounted the moment she heard the news.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner, best known for his iconic role as Theodore Huxtable on The Cosby Show, was in Costa Rica with his family. His daughter and wife were there on an immersion program, allowing their young girl to learn from local teachers while experiencing a new culture. Malcolm had joined them to support his family and help his daughter navigate this educational journey.

But fate had other plans. Tragically, Malcolm-Jamal was swept away by a powerful undertow while swimming with another gentleman in the water. No lifeguards were present at the scene, and officials confirmed that he drowned rapidly due to asphyxiation by submersion.

Pamela's grief is still raw, but she has been trying to process her emotions and share her story with the world. In a series of poignant posts on social media, she revealed that her son did not suffer during his final moments. "He was at peace," she wrote, seeking comfort for those who were mourning alongside her.

The symbolism of water in Malcolm-Jamal's life and death has also been a recurring theme for Pamela. She reflected on how he was born through water and transitioned out of this world the same way. "This was his time," she said, suggesting that his mission on earth had been fulfilled. The actress-turned-mother went on to honor her son's legacy, highlighting his incredible contributions as an actor, musician, teacher, coach, and business partner.

Pamela praised Malcolm-Jamal for leaving an indelible mark on the world and countless hearts. She encouraged fans to hold close to whatever part of his life touched theirs, saying it would keep his spirit alive. "In keeping it near, you keep his spirit alive – nourishing you with the peace, love, joy, and light that embodied Malcolm-Jamal Warner," she wrote.

The aftermath of Malcolm-Jamal's passing has been a rollercoaster for those closest to him. His daughter is still grappling with her emotions, having witnessed the tragic events unfold before her eyes. Pamela revealed that her granddaughter is "still in deep grief" and was deeply traumatized by what she saw.

In an attempt to clarify rumors surrounding Malcolm-Jamal's death, Pamela firmly denied suggestions that his young daughter was in the water when he passed away. She insisted that the child was not present, but rather watched from a safe distance as her father struggled with the powerful undertow.

As news of Malcolm-Jamal's passing spread like wildfire, fans and friends took to social media to share their condolences and memories of the talented actor. His legacy lives on through his body of work, which includes a Grammy win and nominations for his music.
