The man was assisted by bystanders on the beach, but was pronounced dead by Red Cross lifeguards.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local authorities identified him as the actor, and said his body had been transferred to a morgue for further analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warner, who was nominated for an Emmy for his work on &#8220;The Cosby Show,&#8221; also appeared in sitcoms &#8220;Malcolm &amp;

Show,&#8221; which ran from 1984 to 1992, was one of the biggest TV hits of its time, detailing the lives of a middle-class Black family in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show was inspired by the stand-up routines of Bill Cosby, who played the family&#8217;s patriarch, a successful doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show was a commercial and critical hit, and was seen as groundbreaking for its depiction of a loving, happy Black family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But its legacy has been overshadowed in recent years by dozens of complaints of sexual assault against Cosby, a man once known as
