Keshia Knight Pulliam Reflects on Malcolm Jamal Warner’s Tragic De@th
Reporting live from Hypers Club in Atlanta for Hype Plus News, Symphony shares the heartfelt reactions surrounding the passing of Malcolm Jamal Warner. Warner, best known for his role as Theo Huxtable on *The Cosby Show*, tragically passed away while swimming in Costa Rica during a family trip. He was 54 years old.

Keshia Knight Pulliam, who played Rudy Huxtable, Warner’s on-screen younger sister for eight seasons, dedicated an emotional Instagram post to honor her friend and colleague.
The post featured a clip of Warner playing the bass at Atlanta’s City Winery, showcasing his talent as an accomplished musician. Pulliam’s caption read: “A week ago, I lost my big brother, but I gained an angel. I love you. I miss you. We got our girls.” The post also included footage of their daughters strolling with a horse, a testament to their close bond even decades after their time on *The Cosby Show* ended.
Warner and Pulliam’s daughters are close in age, born just three months apart, further deepening their connection. Pulliam also addressed her delayed response to Warner’s passing via her Instagram stories, thanking friends and fans for their support. “Thank you for every text, call, and all the love that you have sent my way. I’ve just needed a moment,” she wrote.
Interestingly, just a month prior to Warner’s death, Pulliam appeared on his podcast *Not All Hood Naw*, where the two reminisced about their careers and shared heartfelt reflections.
Warner expressed his admiration for Pulliam, saying, “She is more than my friend. She is family. Our bond goes way beyond *The Cosby Show*. We have both managed to navigate through the murky waters of child stardom with our souls and dignity intact.”

Bill Cosby also spoke out about Warner’s passing, drawing parallels to the death of his real-life son, Ennis Cosby, who inspired the character of Theo. Cosby’s representative shared that he spoke with Felicia Rashad on the day of Warner’s death, reminiscing about their time working together.
Raven-Symoné, another former cast member, reacted to the news on social media, while other cast members, including Rashad, Sabrina Le Beauf, Lisa Bonet, and Tempestt Bledsoe, have yet to publicly comment.
Warner’s tragic death occurred after a strong current pulled him in while swimming in Costa Rica. Though he was rescued, he was declared dead at the scene. His passing has left a profound impact on those who knew him, both personally and professionally.
Fans have expressed their condolences and appreciation for Pulliam’s heartfelt tribute, which highlights the enduring bond between the two actors. As Pulliam continues to process the loss, her words remind us of the deep connections formed through shared experiences, both on and off-screen.
