Divers have found the body of a paddleboarder who went missing in the water off Martha's Vineyard - 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.
Witnesses told cops the man went underwater and then briefly reappeared as he struggled to stay afloat, before submerging again around 7.46pm.
A massive joint-agency search resumed Monday morning for the African American male who was last seen wearing all black without a lifejacket, MV Times reported.
His paddle board and hat were recovered Sunday - and his body was found in the eight-foot-deep waters approximately 100 feet away from shore at 10am Monday.
The dispatch address for the incident came from Obama's Martha's waterfront Vineyard home. It is unclear if the former president, 61, is currently staying at the estate.

Well played!
How many black paddle boarders are there? And was he gay? Enquiring minds want to know?
That was my first thoughts. Heck, it be a lot easier for the Secret Service to cover up and kill the investigation this crime than that laughable White House cocaine episode.
I thought they knew not to go in water more than knee deep?
The ones that came to the beach in L.A. certainly did not.
LOL! Well, there are ‘Staff’ one would assume. ;)
He must’ve gotten caught off guard by the rapidly rising ocean water.
exactly.
And in ‘open waters’ too.
Dumb.
And now dead.
This “pond” looks big, and created from ocean by adding in barrier sand island. So is it really a pond or not? And looks far too big to be just Uhbama property.
In any case, very sad.
I’m wondering how the Secret Service let him get so close…
Pulling him under(?). ....why would a person paddle board if they can’t swim and how do you drown in a pond if you can swim?
Was Ed Black or Adam Shift around ?
I know they are tight with berry..
Dead black male bodies seem to plauge those guys
Yep.
Good thing the Secret Service was on site.
Obama is currently staying at the estate- can we assume the Yeti is out of town?
I will bet a) this younger man was a loverboy and b) this story will be buried so we don’t find out.
And without a life jacket no less--the report said "he went under, and briefly reappeared and struggled to stay afloat before submerging."
Why does some jackass wanna-be Jane Good all always appear on Obama threads to foul up Jim Rob’s website?
Vax
“Unclear” if Obummer was there..??
Yeah right, that means he was there!
