Pamela Warner , the mother of late actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner , is opening up for the first time about her son's drowning death earlier this summer.
Malcolm-Jamal , best known for playing Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show , died on July 21 at age 54 while in Costa Rica. During a recent interview with Good Morning America's Robin Roberts , Pamela said her son went to Costa Rica to join his wife, Tenisha , and their eight-year-old for the final week of an immersive homeschooling program abroad.
“His wife and daughter had been in Costa Rica three weeks prior,” Pamela explained. “She is homeschooled, and this was part of an immersion program.” She said the final week was meant to be “the fun part,” adding, “It was for the husbands to come.”
