His official cause of death has been listed as asphyxiation.<\/p>\n<p>Warner rose to fame playing Theo Huxtable on NBC\u2019s <em>The Cosby Show,<\/em> a role that made him a household name in the 1980s and earned him an Emmy nomination at just 16.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s devastated and it\u2019s a sad day,\u201d Bill Cosby spokesperson Andrew Wyatt said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/news\/bill-cosby-breaks-silence-death-cosby-show-co-star-malcolm-jamal-warner\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Wyatt said the impact of Warner\u2019s death on Bill Cosby was similar to when he got the news that his own son, Ennis Cosby Cosby, was killed in a failed robbery attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Born August 18, 1970, in Jersey City, New Jersey, Warner entered the entertainment industry as a teenager. His breakout role as Theo helped define a generation of television and launched a career that spanned more than four decades.<\/p>\n<p>Following <em>The Cosby Show<\/em>, Warner starred in the UPN sitcom <em>Malcolm &amp; Eddie <\/em>alongside Eddie Griffin, which ran for four seasons. He later appeared in recurring roles on shows like<em> Community<\/em>, <em>Suits<\/em> and <em>The Resident<\/em>, where he played Dr. AJ Austin.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><d class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><br \/>\n<d class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Malcolm-Jamal Warner, &#039;Cosby Show&#039; actor, dies at 54 in Costa Rica drowning\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eb9yXlp8LK4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/d><br \/>\n<\/d><\/figure>\n<p>Beyond acting, Warner built a reputation as a skilled director, helming episodes of <em>The Cosby Show,<\/em> <em>All That<\/em> and <em>Malcolm &amp; Eddie<\/em>. He also pursued music, blending spoken word and jazz into his performances.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, Warner won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&amp;B; Performance for his contribution to Robert Glasper\u2019s \u201cJesus Children\u201d featuring Lalah Hathaway. The song honored the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his career, Warner remained vocal about the importance of representation and creative control. He often used his platform to advocate for Black artists in Hollywood and the music industry.<\/p>\n<p>His final television appearance aired earlier this year, continuing a steady presence on screen that began in the early 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>Warner\u2019s death comes just weeks before what would have been his 55th birthday.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/news\/malcolm-jamal-warner-cause-of-death-confirmed-bill-cosby-reacts\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Malcolm-Jamal Warner passed away at 54 following an accidental drowning while on vacation in Costa Rica.
