NBC News' Jesse Kirsch reports from the beach in Costa Rica where Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who played Theo on "The Cosby Show," tragically drowned while on vacation with his wife and young daughter.

In a press release sent to Newsweek, Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Department said Warner died near Cocles, a beach in Limon, Costa Rica. Despite bystanders pulling him to shore, where he received medical attention, he was declared dead by the Costa Rican Red Cross.
