Exactly a month ago, on July 24th, the young African male, age 45 years was declared dead allegedly from a paddleboard accident in Martha’s Vineyard Estate resort.
The deceased was the chef to the former President Barack Obama and family at the time of the incident.
Tafari Campbell, verifiably a good swimmer from the footage in the public domain with swimming skills visibly well above an amateur in the pool at least 8 feet deep from the pool floor.
The individual having been a chef at the White House serving the administration heads in his career would be expected to be cognizant of safety precautions about his own life.
More so due to the fact, Tafari Campbell is survived by his spouse and teenage twin sons per reports at the time of his untimely bizarre incident, protecting own life with necessary safety guards would be a priority.
Nonetheless, none of the above mentioned personal security measures noted in the deceased’s alleged accident.
The brief inquiry on the incident has the following details.
The Independent Newspaper from U.K.
Cause of death revealed for Obama family chef who died at their Martha’s Vineyard home
The death of former US president Barack Obama‘s personal chef Tafari Campbell in the Massachusetts resort community of Martha’s Vineyard was an accident, a state official said on Tuesday.
Campbell, 45, died while paddleboarding in the waters close to the former president’s home in late July. His body was recovered a day later with the aid of sonar technology about 100 feet from the shore and eight feet underwater in Edgartown Great Pond…
Timothy McGuirk, a spokesperson for the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, told the media that the cause of death was ruled as drowning and the manner of death was determined to be an accident.
Massachusetts Police at the time of the incident said Campbell “was not wearing a personal flotation device and was not leashed to the paddle board” when he fell into the water.
He was with a fellow paddle boarder – who has not been named – who tried to help but could not reach him in time, police said.”

The entire situation do not make sense whether viewed through the prism of accidental cause considering there are footages available in public videos with Tafari Campbell swimming comfortably in deep water pool in the fast lane doing back stroke and free style that are not possible for someone drowning in eight feet water.
The body had to be traced via Sonar technology not until a day later despite the other person surprisingly the survivor with undisclosed name in the incident accompanying Tafari Campbell that night is anything but normal.
Relevantly, Tafari Campbell six feet plus tall in physical height could not emerge out of the eight feet pond with a marginal 2 feet to get back on the board or to the shore which any paddle boarder would have known to do in such situation is intriguing.
The incident site is comparable to indoor or outdoor house swimming pool with some recreational pools even deeper than 8 feet and wider lanes that are common.
There were also reports around the time of Tafari Campbell’s death about the latter having suffered a trauma resulting from the blunt force to the left or right side of his head.
The simple conclusion arrived in the report stating the cause of death as freak accident is oversimplification of preventable tragedy saving life.
As always in these high profile incident given the fact Tafari Campbell was the current employee at the former President Barack Obama and family household,
The circumstances and the deceased personal ability as a swimmer in the reportedly mere 8 feet pond at his employer’s viz. Barack and Michelle Obama’s home raise reasonable doubts on the matter.
The speculation there is more to this drowning mystery than meets the eye cross many minds.
The manner the case has been shut with the State Sheriff’s statement as an accident begs yet another question about the price the surviving dependents had to pay at the loss of their key family member and the income provider to them.
Whatever happened to the Black Lives Matter?
Is it such a big liability and risk to be employed in these premise?
