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.

We are just peasants and it’s about time for the peasants to storm the castle, with pitchforks and torches.

ROFL!! And in both cases, neither of them ever regained consciousness.

The Chef for the Clinton's and Bush drowned a few years ago. I think the way or place he drowned was suspicious.

Yes, well, I was thinking along those lines, but in general we could say that doing laps in a pool does not guarantee a familiarity with the requirements of a natural underwater environment. I.e. holding your breath, keeping your eyes open, keeping relaxed, and moving with alacrity.

I might guess that he became “entangled” with seaweed, which panicked him, and that would be it.

Does the person who observed Tafari go under the water, have a name?

I think that black people have more muscle and less body fat, JMHO. Body fat - buouncy. Also, they are less likely to have swimming lessons when young, for whatever reasons.

Seems like more blacks are non swimmers as adults.

IMHO, there should be a push to teach all youngsters to swim.

The internet is a wonderful thing. Thanks for mentioning that. Even most swim team members have never heard of that, and they are at extreme risk.

I still say that obama was involved in the death of the chef.

Swimming is a life skill. I agree with lessons.
