The man who drowned while paddleboarding on a pond outside the Obamas’ Martha’s Vineyard estate has been identified as the former first-family’s personal chef.
Authorities confirmed Monday afternoon that the body of 45-year-old Tafari Campbell was found in 8-feet of water about 100 feet from the banks of the Obamas’ property on Edgartown Great Pond.
Rescue efforts involving divers, Coast Guard helicopters, and resources from multiple agencies, were launched from the property overnight. The Obamas’ estate was used as the base of rescue operations on Sunday night and into Monday, police said.“Tafari was a beloved part of our family,” the Obamas said in a statement Monday.
“That’s why, when we were getting ready to leave the White House, we asked Tafari to stay with us, and he generously agreed. He’s been part of our lives ever since, and our hearts are broken that he’s gone.”
