Malcolm-Jamal Warner has died. He was 54.

The actor was in Costa Rica on a family vacation and drowned while swimming, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

A rep for Warner did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Warner's career began with his role as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show.

The actor played the only son of Bill Cosby's character, Heathcliff Huxtable, in the sitcom from 1984 to 1992.

In 2023, Warner told PEOPLE of the show, "I know I can speak for all the cast when I say The Cosby Show is something that we are all still very proud of."
