The former White House sous chef for Barack and Michelle has been identified as the man found dead following a paddle boarding accident on the Obama's property in Martha's Vineyard.
Tafari Campbell was found dead on Monday by divers after going missing in the pond that backs on to Barack Obama's sprawling $12million estate.
The 43-year-old vanished on Sunday evening while he was out with another paddleboarder on Edgartown Great Pond, Massachusetts, and emergency crews were dispatched to Obama's residence.
In a statement, Michelle and Barack Obama said Campbell - who was married with 19-year-old twins - was one of the top chefs in the White House kitchen: 'Tafari was a beloved part of our family.
'When we first met him, he was a talented sous chef at the White House — creative and passionate about food, and its ability to bring people together. In the years that followed, we got to know him as a warm, fun, extraordinarily kind person who made all of our lives a little brighter.'
'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.'
Witnesses first told cops on Sunday night that a man - later identified as Campbell went underwater and then briefly reappeared as he struggled to stay afloat, before submerging again around 7.46pm.
The witness - who was not identified - was paddle boarding on Edgartown Great Pond with Campbell.
A massive joint-agency search was launched when a 911 call was made from the Obama's Martha's Vineyard home on Turkeyland Cove Road.

Tafari didn’t kill himself!
So 0’s place is on Turkeyland Cove Road? Kind of apt name.
Unusual way to die.
Neither did Epstein.
Yes, it is.
Indeed.
Okay folks, what you’re thinking has no basis in fact, see:
No, Barack Obama and Kamala Harris did not have a coded conversation about pedophilia in 2020

I thought so but paddleboarders drown, and it seems to be fairly common.
You know, this could be just an accidental drowning.
However, if the words Clinton, Obama, or Democrat come up anywhere in the article... It’s suspicious.
Won’t be... case closed..... wink wink
Why is the witness, who is the person who was paddle-boarding with Tafari, NOT identified?
Like my dad always said, until it is proven not to be murder, it was murder.
Chef hits the sauce?
70% of drownings involve the misuse of life preservers or absence thereof...
Paddle boarders are not likely to drown in a salt water pond. Especially if they are paddle boarding with another person. And most, if not all paddle boarders are tethered to their boards. So even if you drown, you are going to be found floating next to your board.
I’m stunned, almost 20 posts and not one “Was he vaxxed?”. That’s got to be a record.
“ Why is the witness, who is the person who was paddle-boarding with Tafari, NOT identified?”
____________
Because they’re a minor?
