Malone was pulled from the waters on July 20 after a Boston firefighter and three Milton teenagers saw him go under. The firefighter and two of the teens performed CPR, and he was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
MacDonald says Malone had suffered injuries from being pulled unconscious and not breathing from the water.
Malone played Skinny Ray Likanski in 2007's "Gone Baby Gone" and Wolfie in 2010's "The Fighter."
