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.
“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.
