Tafari Campbell, the "beloved" chef of former President Barack Obama and his family, died of accidental drowning in a Martha's Vineyard lake, officials confirmed Tuesday.
Campbell, 45, was paddleboarding at Edgartown Great Pond on the night of July 23 when he was seen struggling in the water, CBS Boston reported at the time.
His cause of death was determined to be accidental drowning due to submersion in a body of water, according to Timothy McGuirk, a spokesperson for the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security.
Campbell, who was from Dumfries, Virginia, worked in the White House, and the Obamas considered him part of their family, the former president and first lady said in a joint statement in July. When the Obamas were getting ready to leave the White House, they asked him to keep working for them.

Seems like a pretty sketchy article, saying nothing that wasn't already known, and leaving out important details like who was with Campbell when he drowned.
And since when is "S. Dev" considered a byline, anyway?

Tafari’s MURDER is a sign Big Mike will either be running for president or a VP slot.. Tafari knew too much, and perhaps saw Big Mike’s manhood at some point.. Or perhaps Odunga fulfilled his gay sex fantasies with Tafari and Big Mike had him OFFED.

Was there ever a doubt-even if he was stabbed 32 times and shot in the head twice it would have been determined to be an accidental drowning.

Obviously, it’s too early to tell what really happened, until some FReeper gets a hold of pictures of the incident and zooms in and highlights some pixels they think look like a scuba tank.

Who did the autopsy?
Does the person have connections to any of the usual suspects?
