Before Malcolm-Jamal Warner died in an accidental drowning in Costa Rica at 54 years old, surfers noticed The Cosby Show alum struggling in the water, police confirmed. The model, who starred in the music video for Joel's "Uptown Girl," said that she tried to save their marriage, adding, "I wanted it to work."

Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Department said Warner drowned Sunday afternoon on a beach on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.
