    Great - another person my age has just dropped dead. :|

    Doubly-tragic that this was an unexpected death that happened on a
    family trip. :(

    That's terrible. I'm sorry for his family and friends.

    I never watched The Cosby Show regularly but he always seemed to be a
    decent actor in various things he did.

    I only just saw him guest-starring as Shirley's ex in Season 2 episodes
    of Community.

    It doesn't seem right somehow that Bill Cosby, who assaulted all those
    women and did prison time for it is still alive while his young costar
    is already dead, decades ahead of his time....

    Not that this should be discussed in this thread, but I've never agreed
    that a lot of the accusations versus Cosby were sexual assault, and just because he played a doctor on tv didn't mean several of the women should
    have taken the Quaaludes.

    I believe he drowned or at least that was part of the headline of one
    article I saw.

    He was pulled under by the undertow. Others on the beach witnessed it
    and pulled him out but they were unable to revive him.

    I keep fixing Ian's Subject in my followups.
