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

Posted on 07/27/2023 8:55:36 AM PDT by george76

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

Yes there are now reports that the Obamas were in residence but have now fled er left and nobody knows where Barry is.

One report says the Obamas brought in their own forensic pathologist who said the death was drowning but then the county coroner ruled blue t force trauma.

I heard it on one of the videos I watched. The part about the beaten body was supposedly what first responders were saying unofficially. By now they would have been told to keep their mouths shut or else. But to be honest it is all just conjecture unless there is proof. One thing is for sure. It makes more sense than the official story.

Also there is other talk now that no Autopsy was performed. I would think that would be easy to prove or disprove.

If he was beaten, battered or bruised , died from drowning, etc... this is one thing

but death by drowning , to my knowledge
is significantly different .

Scenario #1: death by simple drowning

Scenario #2 beaten, battered & bruised then disposed of in the pond to make it look like a drowning,head trauma included

Scenario #3 strangled to death to make
it look like a drowning.

Scenario #4 head trauma due to violent
interaction with another person, placed on paddle board and pushed out to the pond as far as it would go.

If im right along with many many others
the No Autopsy is the biggest flag ever
& his death will be simple drowning,
and no more questions about it and people will accept it and move on...

i really do think theres more to this than meets the eye. After all a ex prez reputation is at stake here/ sarc
and if everything is AOK any person of noble & honest & true character would demand the very best for his employee and make sure that everything in this death is ALL above board. ( sorry for the pun)

Death by drowning has to have— water in the lungs. Blunt force and then thrown in unconscious not breathing— no water in lungs (can’t fake this as “drowning”). The amount of info lockdown because of the obamaumaos being there— this is immediately suspicious— not correct investigation or process.

The guy has a wife—who said he was steaming clams and was going to bed. So why was he then after out on paddleboard 8 feet deep of water (a fen, in the South, not a pond). The entire series of dribbled media stories that don’t match up— makes the whole thing looking arranged.

Good question.

It's an unusual word to use in this case, as well as "avid" and "enthusiastic."

On the day it happened, I saw a news report that showed a video of him taking swimming lessons and saying "progress..."

It sounds to me like he was "enthusiastic" about learning to swim, he was "avid" in taking his lessons, and he was "proficient" at swimming like JFK Jr. was "proficient" at flying an airplane to Martha's Vineyard.

Unless there is photo or video proof of obama being elsewhere I say he is the 2nd person. The guy who died could have died from the deadly vaccine or been hit by the other guy.
Have you notice there is never a simple explanation for anything the democrats do?
Their stories are always changing.

Two chefs drowned? One can be an accident but two is not.

This would lead me to guess that there is a oddball guest to the Obama residence (of prominence) who doesn’t earn Secret Service protection. Someone like an Oprah, or White House VIP type, for example.

The minute that the autopsy is handed to a non-county official? Maybe this is a out-of-country dignitary?
