More Details Revealed About Accidental Drowning Of Malcolm-Jamal Warner

On Monday, July 21, the Caribbean Guard took to Facebook to share a post detailing the group’s “regret” for the passing of the 54-year-old. Per TMZ, the Caribbean Guard is Costa Rica’s volunteer lifeguard group.

“We deeply regret the passing of Malcom – Jamal Warner, in Playa Grande. He was swept away by a strong hangover current and died by drowning. It was all very fast, and even though there were people on the beach who came in to rescue him, they didn’t arrive in time. He was pulled underwater with no vital signs and despite having been provided with CPR maneuvers on the beach, his resuscitation was unsuccessful,” the post reads.

Furthermore, the post went on to note that Playa Grande is one of the group’s “most challenging beaches.”

“It’s a beach known by local surfers, and there are signs (in English and Spanish) that warn of the danger of death by drowning,” the post continued.

As the post went on, it noted that the group has patrolled the beach for the “last few years.” However, on Sunday, no guards were present.

“Due to the recent water incidents on Playa… we have allocated resources there and on Chiquita, another emblematic beach, for its currents… We do our part to minimize risks, but if we don’t have government help, clear public policies, and strong support from local entrepreneurs, this will keep happening.”

A Second Man Is Reportedly In Critical Condition

According to PEOPLE, ambulances attended to two adult males, one of whom was Warner, on Sunday. The other was reportedly taken to a local facility in critical condition.

At this time, the condition of the man remains unclear. Meanwhile, USA Today reports that his identity has not been publicly shared. However, he is 35 years old.
