"Proficient swimmer": Tafari Campbell drowning death while paddleboarding comes under scrutiny
SK POP ^ | Jul 27, 2023 | Karishma Rao

Netizens are questioning news reports that claimed that Tafari Campbell died from a paddleboarding accident. The 45-year-old worked as a personal chef to former US president Barack Obama. He died during his recent trip to Martha’s Vineyard. Internet users are finding it hard to believe that he died due to the water sport considering his proficiency in swimming..

Tafari Campbell was visiting Massachusetts Island from his Virginia home. He went missing in the Edgartown Great Pond waters on Sunday. Police endlessly searched for the food connoisseur until they received a call about a male paddleboarder who had reportedly “gone into the water.”

The police announced that they were told that Campbell:

“appeared to briefly struggle to stay on the surface, and then submerged.” Their statement went on to add that Tafari Campbell was accompanied by another person who “observed him go under the water.”

The chef’s body was found eight feet underwater. It was also noted that he was not wearing a life jacket.

Law enforcement announced that the Obama family was not present at their residence at the time of Campbell’s accident.

Since news of Campbell’s passing broke online, netizens are finding it difficult to believe that he died from a paddleboarding incident as his Instagram account proved that he was a “proficient swimmer.”

...

Don't listen to anyone telling you Obama’s chef, Tafari Campbell, couldn't swim

...

The Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit had announced that Campbell’s death remains under investigation

Where did he get the paddle board?

Where did he launch it from? And when?

What were the wind conditions like?

How much experience did the victim have with paddle boards?

How far away was the other paddle boarder from the victim?

Who informed the person who made the 911 call?

Were there any contusions on the body?

Where exactly were the Obamas?

I’ve been involved in swimming most of my life.
I have never seen a black dude just cranking out laps.
I took the PAST test in the USAF, everyone was white.

The neck brace was clever work by Ted’s handlers.

My guess is that he suffered a cardiac event of some sort.

LeBron James's healthy son just suffered one.

Colby knew the local waters, winds, currents, etc around his place. Anyone who spends a lot time on the water becomes familiar with those kinds of things, how they change and how they can affect your safety on the water. Especially if going out late in the day or evening. Just saying.

Colby spilled the beans on decades of CIA abuses—there were hundreds of bad actors who wanted revenge—and were not shy about saying so.

*Carol Rosenbloom comes to mind as well, He swam daily in the ocean at his property in Florida, yet he ‘drowned’ as well. I, along with many thousands of LA Ram fans, never bought that story.*
My favorite-T.J. Thorsen.

*First report said he couldn’t swim......even showed a picture of hi, with a Caption that said “still can’t swim”. NOW I see video of him swimming! WTF is going on?*
They never learned. Swimming pools are off limits. They pee in them.

Its doubtful we’ll ever know the details.

If something like this happened to anyone working for Trump no stone would be left unturned. The media would be demanding answers to every question.

“WTH wears a life jacket in eight feet of water?”

Are you serious? People who can’t swim. Any non swimmer can drown if the water is over their head, especially if they panic. Saw a guy fall off a bank of a creek, went under and never came back up. Threw a cooler in to help as soon as he went in but he never surfaced. The water at the bank was 8-9 ft deep. I’m a good swimmer but I know better to jump in after a drowning man. They will drown both of you.

I think the story has been changed to that they were there after all.

I think someone was sending a message to the Obamas.

I’ve seen the video of him being a good swimmer, all anyone can tell from it is that there is a black guy swimming. Given the liars that both 0bama and his media toadies are, I suspect that the guy couldn’t swim and was just showing off and ended up drowning. Blacks make up a disproportionate percentage of drowning victims because they will jump into the deep end or into lakes or rivers to show off even if they don’t know how to swim.
