Deep sorrow for former US first couple Barack and Michelle Obama: their longtime chef passed away under tragic circumstances. He drowned near the Obamas’ home on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.
Tafari Campbell got into trouble with his stand-up paddleboard on Edgartown Great Pond on Sunday, according to police. The 45-year-old couldn’t stay on the surface and went under. At that time it was not known who the victim was.
Police: Second water sports enthusiast did not help
It wasn’t until Monday that the drowned man’s body was found about 100 feet from shore near the Obama villa and the man was identified. An investigation has been launched, but so far authorities believe it was an accident. According to the information, a second water sports enthusiast was also nearby at the time of the accident. It’s unclear why he didn’t help.
Obama: “Part of our lives”
Campbell was the chef of the presidential family during Barack Obama’s eight-year presidency. At the time, the first couple came to know him as “a warm, funny and extremely kind person who made our lives a little brighter,” according to a statement from the Obamas. Even after they left the White House, they asked him to remain “a part of our lives.” “It breaks our hearts that he has left us,” the two mourn their friend.
