Death

Malcolm died in a car accident, only hours after playing Bulgaria in a friendly international in Kingston.^[3] He was on his way back to Montego Bay with team-mate Theodore Whitmore, when his car blew a tire, hit an embankment and overturned near Falmouth. Whitmore was injured in the accident,^[4] but fully recovered. Three years earlier Malcolm and Whitmore were involved in a car crash too, in which national team defender Durrant Brown was severely injured.

In 2011, Seba United was renamed Montego Bay United and withdrew the number 2 shirt in honour of Malcolm.^[5]
