CLAIM: Campbell suspiciously suffered blunt force injuries to the head and had been wearing a life vest when he died.
THE FACTS: Massachusetts State Police and the state medical examiner's office say there was no external trauma or injuries on Campbell's body.how can the state med examiner make that claim when obamas people did the autopsy?
Dave Procopio, a state police spokesperson,so the AP uses a spokesperson for their info too lazy to get is from original sources--figures also confirmed the 45-year-old Dumfries, Virginia, resident was not wearing a personal flotation device nor was he leashed to his paddleboard when he went under the water on Sunday evening.other reports suggest that he tried to tie the board on but seemed unstable or possibly impaired somehow accd. to the AP's unnamed spokesperson unnamed in a story like this!!
In a statement provided Wednesday, he said the agency's investigation and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner's initial post-mortem examination have “found no evidence that the death was suspicious.”just like there was no evidence obiden ever discussed anything with hunter,what a crock
Another paddleboarder( in a story like this you need a name not another paddleboarder,unreal--did these clowns even go to college? told police that Campbell, who had worked as a chef for the Obamas since their time in the White House, had been standing on his board when he lost his balance and fell in. so in the AP investigation what made the chef lose balance?
The other paddleboarder had tried to swim to Campbell as he struggled to stay afloat, but they weren't able to reach him “in time,” the statement said.(from where to where in how much time who tried what BS
The paddleboarder then swam ashore and notified another person, who called 911. what journalistic BS who swam ashore who called 911,was the call edited==so many questions so few anwers!! Is this the real AP?
_ CLAIM: Former President Barack Obama was paddleboarding with Campbell when he died.I have read over 25 links and never saw that claim did AP make it up to cover zero?
THE FACTS: The other paddleboarder who witnessed the incident was not Obama, former first lady Michelle Obama nor the couple's two adult daughters, state police confirm. then who the hell was it?
Procopio said the family, which has long vacationed on the resort island off Massachusetts, had been elsewhere(where is elsewhere? Sunday evening.there are a dozen claims as to where the obamas were some say he was there others say he was not what did the AP investigation show--oh yeah they don't investigate just make sh_t up
“I won't comment on where exactly President and Mrs. Obama were, but they were not at the house or with Mr. Campbell that evening,” he said.wonderful journalism here
The Obamas’ 6,892-square-foot estate sits on 30 acres overlooking Edgartown Great Pond, where Campbell drowned. Procopio declined to identify the other paddler who had been with Campbell, saying the agency generally does not identify witnesses. and AP does not ask since the whole reason for this piece is to cover zero from any damage
As to exactly where the Obamas were on the island Sunday, a spokesperson for the former president declined to comment Wednesday.more stellar journalism by the AP
__ CLAIM: The medical examiner's office has “called off” its autopsy.once again where does that claim come from? I never read it. I did read however that zero called in his own people to do the autopsy
THE FACTS: That's false. The initial post-mortem examination of the body is complete, leading officials to conclude the death wasn't suspicious.( who did the post-mortem exam?
Officials are now just awaiting the results of toxicology tests, which generally take several weeks, according to Procopio.since its obama with unlimited resources expect six weeks for any info on this it will all be delayed
“For the autopsy to be considered complete, the toxicology tests would be finalized and the results reviewed,” he said. ___
CLAIM: Campbell's death is suspicious because he knew how to swim and was in a pond with access to a paddleboard he could have held onto.
THE FACTS: Water safety experts told the AP that none of these factors would necessarily prevent someone from drowning, a tragedy that often occurs quickly and silently.
Some online are pointing to a video on Campbell's Instagram account that shows a man swimming laps at a pool as evidence that the chef was an able swimmer.
Although the level of Campbell's swimming abilities is unclear, Adam Katchmarchi, executive director of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance, said that even the best swimmers can and do drown.
For example, they may suffer a medical emergency that prevents them from staying afloat, even if they have an object such as a paddleboard to hold onto. Or they may find themselves in an environment they're not trained to handle — like tides or currents — especially if they overestimate their strength and stamina.
Additionally, a pond is not necessarily safe just because it's smaller and less volatile than other bodies of water. Murky waters can obscure hazards beneath the surface, and safety equipment or assistance are not always available nearby.
What's more, Edgartown Great Pond is not all that shallow, as some online had claimed. Campbell's body was found about 100 feet (30 meters) from shore at a depth of about 8 feet (2.4 meters), according to state police.
The pond has an average depth of 3 to 4.3 feet. But people can drown in far shallower water, so long as their mouth and nose are submerged, said Tom Gill, vice president of the United States Lifesaving Association.
“It doesn't even take 8 feet of water,” Gill said. “It could take 1 foot of water.”(i> there is so much BS in this last argument it does not even merit a response.There are excellent videos showing how the chef could do backstrokes regular summing under water you name it--this could likely only occur if he was impartied possibly drug or possibly an injury.with all the cover up going on we will probably never know and thats what they want

This is journalism 101 some of the worst of the worst I have seen,extremely pathetic.
The one question I have regarding the murder/drowning of Campbell is this - where was the Secret Service? This is Obama land - you’d think that there’d be a few SS agents around.
“It doesn’t even take 8 feet of water,” Gill said. “It could take 1 foot of water.”(i> there is so much BS in this last argument it does not even merit a response.

A friend knew someone fit and in his early 50s who drowned in 1 foot of water. That’s what the death certificate said, anyway. 🙄 We know he just Died Suddenly when he happened to be walking on the beach close to the water. He had coincidentally gotten jabbed the week before.
