TV SON'S DEATH KILLING COSBY

Friends fear worst for reeling sex sleaze

- 

DISGRACED comic Bill Cosby has been gutted by the shock drowning death of TV son Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and friends fear the tragedy will be the end of him, The National ENQUIRER can reveal.

Sources say sex pest Cosby, 88, who's been living in seclusion since his release from prison, is grieving as if he's lost another of his own children.

"This has hit Bill extremely hard," spills an insider. "He and Malcolm were very close and spoke all the time. Malcolm called to wish Bill a happy birthday just two weeks ago. Malcolm was like a real-life son to him. Now he's gone, just like his own boy, Ennis."
