UPDATE: The body of the unidentified man has been confirmed to be Barack and Michelle Obama’s personal chef, Tafari Campbell, aged 45.
The original age of the victim was incorrect in the initial reporting. Despite the Obama family vacationing on the island, the Obamas were not at their home in Martha’s Vineyard at the time of the incident.
(Chicago Sun Times) – […] Tafari Campbell, 45, known as one of the chefs who brewed White House honey ale beer while Obama was in office — using honey from Michelle Obama’s famous South Lawn garden — went to work for the former first couple when they left the White House.
In a statement, the Obamas said of 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.
“Today we join everyone who knew and loved Tafari — especially his wife Sherise and their twin boys, Xavier and Savin — in grieving the loss of a truly wonderful man.”
The Obama’s have been spending part of the summer in Martha’s Vineyard for years.
Massachusetts State Police said Campbell was from Dumfries, Va., and “was visiting Martha’s Vineyard at the time of his passing. President and Mrs. Obama were not present at the residence at the time of the accident.” (read more)
ORIGINAL OUTLINE BELOW
Details are just starting to come out, but while the identity of the victim has not been established the description matches Reggie Love, Obama’s body man.
The body of an unidentified black male, aged 43, was found this morning after an overnight search for a missing paddleboarder in the marsh pond behind the Martha’s Vineyard home of President Barack Obama.
Apparently, a call for search and rescue units came from the Obama home last night, and the body was located in 8′ of water this morning.
VIA DAILY MAIL – […] 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.
[…] Massachusetts State Police said: ‘Shortly before 10 AM the body of the missing paddle boarder was recovered from Edgartown Great Pond by Massachusetts State Police divers.
‘MSP Underwater Recovery Unit divers made the recovery after the victim’s body was located by a Massachusetts Environmental Police Officers deploying side-scan sonar from a boat.
‘As previously noted, the victim is a 43-year-old male. His name is not being released at this time; we expect to release his name later today.
‘The recovery was made approximately 100 feet from shore at a depth of about eight feet.
‘The investigation into the fatality is being conducted by the State Police Detective Unit for the Cape and Islands District and Edgartown Police.’ (read more)
It’s Martha’s Vineyard. The whitest place in the USA.
How many black males not related to Barack Obama are on the Island?
🤔 Reggie Love?
What gets me so far about this story is another paddle boarder saw him struggle to stay afloat…..why didnt they go help him..
then they could not find him for hours…had to call in divers…….makes no sense
That sounds pretty typical for these incidents. A drowning victim sinks to the bottom, they can be very hard to locate.
“…another paddle boarder”; could the other boarder have been Obama himself?
Absolutely.
Hillary
Or michelle
You know the other paddleboarder could be just to make the situation “real.” That is, the whole story could be just a story with the introduction of an unknown paddleboarder.
Night, dark water
He’s dark, dressed in black
May be murky there
Almost a haiku.
Bless you!
You guys!!!
It makes perfect sense:
a body is found in Obama’s pond ……..
on the anniversary of Epstein not killing himself……. 🧐🤔
Yikes.
History is trying VERY hard to rhyme, seems to me.
(This was probably the first attempt on his life – his death was later, August 10 2019.)
That’s right.
Never mind -Epstein didn’t kill himself until August 10
Drone Strikes on USSR, like same time

So Reggie Love is Obama’s homosexual lover?
My first question.
So far as I know, entirely unproven.
But very frequently rumored.
What the hell is a … “bodyman”? The only thing I let NEAR my body is a woman …
My pups always by my side 🙂 “bodyman” is a curious word – actually never heard it used before>
Body man is not a new phrase, and it is not inherently something ugly or awful.
Indeed.
Though somewhat tongue in cheek when referring to the assistant of a man who declared he made love to men in his mind everyday.
I think in addition to being a bodyguard they are also like an assistant, a handyman, a clerk, and an errand boy. A jack of all trades who is always by your side, at all times.
“handyman”
Yeah, like the guy who is also referred to as a “bag man”…
No, it is not new. Have always heard those who repair dents to an automobile’s body called “body men.” Of course, that’s from a blue-collar perspective. Don’t know what the term means in the circle the Obamas run in.
Hillary Clinton’s body man, the one that followed her around with a hypodermic was also found dead of mysterious circumstances too.
Dead Body men can’t talk.
Seriously? I forgot about that male nurse/bodyguard — or whatever he was following her around with a needle. Did he really die?
The one that threw her in the van like a side beef ?
I watch that on YouTube when I’m feeling down and need a laugh.

“Secret Service Special Agent Todd Madison, a.k.a. “Hillary’s handler,” died at a Wisconsin hospital on December 8, 2017, at age 49 after serving 20 years with the agency protecting some of the most high-profile countrymen and women including the Clintons during their tenure at the White House.”
From that link, can’t even make this sh*t up:
“Developing methodologies for expansive sized estates in rural country side and ocean front locations“
Yes indeed – poor old Todd Madison, but it’s just a coincidence, of course:

I think “Sue”is spot on,…….it is a Lady in Waiting.
Huma Abedin was Hillary’s Bodywoman…..[shudder…]
Big Mike Jealous?
No, he is now living the high life- that was the deal.
Well they did travel together even on long Valentine’s weekend’s when big Mike was vacationing elsewhere. Then there were the rumors about Love when he aged college basketball
DUH
I believe this is the plot from the fourth Jaws movie. Is Mario Van Peebles on vacay in Martha’s Vineyard?
They went on trips together during Barry’s Presidency and Mooseshelle stayed home with the kids or went on “humanitarian trips” to places like Africa.
When it came out, Google pretty much scrubbed “Reggie Love” from the Internet, which is what they do.
Big Mike gifted Reggie to Braaaaaaack Hussein to keep Barry happy and relaxed.
Time for Big Mike to step up to keep Braaaaaaack happy.
One of many,that’s just how they roll………..because it’s so Progressive.
He drowned, but did he have 2 bullet holes to the back of his head? Just asking.
If he did, that would prove suicide, obviously.
I didn’t know Ed Buck was out of jail
That’s why the body sank. Lead is heavy.
I still think the surfboard hijacking sea otter from California had something to do with it.
I love that little critter!!!!
Those pesky otters do like to Hammer.
They must have graduated with honors from the “Paulie ‘Dahmer’ Pelosi School”…
No, he had a necktie loosely tied around his neck.
Like Clinton’s buddy, Ron White.
Allegedly he liked to paddle-board with both hands tied and a 45lb barbell tied to his ankles. An unnamed acquaintance said he enjoyed the challenge.
This is what you call Sam Shady. It does not pass the smell test.
Not slim shady fo sure …
Wow . . . 35 sec. into that video and it was off. How disgusting.
Sign me as “Was Never a Fan of Eminem” and “Never Will Be.”
Did anyone see HRC on a paddleboard in the vicinity?
that would be one big paddleboard
Barge
Ice breaker
or a Trireme
She’s busy establishing her alibi over on Gateway Pundit. Something about stepping in it.😹
Was he set to testify against the Bidens?
Now there’s a good question.
No, but Devon Archer will testify to VP Biden being on dozens of business phone calls with Hunter.
Unfortunately, Devon backed out again for the 3rd time.
Doesn’t the House have the ability to haul him in front of the committee? The fact that he keeps backing out says everything, IMHO!
They have the ability. But not the will.
The house does not do doodley…. except read scripts
Under coercion?
If he survives long enough.
How far is that from Chappaquidick?
Chappaquiddick is an island near Edgartown…and Martha’s Vineyard…did a wiki look up for the Chappa island.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12331627/Desperate-search-paddleboarder-43-went-missing-water-Marthas-Vineyard.html
That bridge needs fix’in.
Is a body man also a body guard?
NO!!! -_- Ahh, what difference does it make
Thanks for clearing that up..
Kinda like a man servant,or in this case a Lady in Waiting.
Nah, it’s a more ‘decent’ euphamism for ‘fluffer’, but in the gayporno industry.
Sounds like Hillary may have been paying a visit.
But why?
Big Mike was unavailable for comment?
The water temperature off MV is 37 degrees F and this guy went “paddle boarding” alone all dressed in black? Wearing a hat? Hard to believe.
Where did you come up with 37F ? More like 70F or higher right now.
Today water temperature in Vineyard Haven is 70.9°F.
Visualize the Gulf Stream’s warm waters as it passes by Massachusetts 😊
Jack Smith is on his way to The Vineyard. s/o
Knowing that psychopath, he’s probably on his way from the Vinyard, where he never was, of course…
Maybe the guy who saw him go into the water HELPED the deceased go into the water. I doubt we will ever learn the truth about this.
Sundance didn’t mention the victims colleague?
So it sounds like officials know who this is.
A shot across Obama’s bow? Seal Team A-1?
Quite possible,….considering the threat made to Rand Paul with the burning of his office,….Fauchi,Big Pharma,and the Intelligence community think they are untouchable,someone’s keeping them in check,sort of,….Trump and his family are still alive.
There’s something about the July Martha’s Vineyard/Chappaquiddick ponds.
They don’t have to be deep to be deadly.
Ambition is deadly.
neither does a bathtub.
There’s a beach in Stuart, FL called Bathtub Beach.
Was this paddle boarder married to a professional buffalo rider?
Was Hillary anywhere in the vicinity?
Reggie is a lot older than 43.
He’s 42.
REGGIE LOVE DIDN’T DROWN!

https://nationalpost.com/news/barack-obamas-former-personal-aide-reveals-how-he-won-over-the-president
I dont think it will be Reggie…….but makes for a good story huh
Tafari “Safari” Campbell, the actual victim, makes an ever better story…
Unidentified but aged 43. Got it
Declining to identify does not mean unidentified.
Unidentified, but they report that he is 43. That is odd.
I think “unidentified” simply means that his identity has not been made public.
Officials not ready to announce identify but indicating it was not Barack or Michelle (by age).
The seas were rough. On the pond.
The Pond water was rough, my friend … but I was not deterred! I paddle boarded straight into the jaws of those swells
All I know is that Obama’s body bag count is quite close if not bigger then Hillary’s.
Obama’s Body Count: Crossing Obama Can Be Deadly! Mysterious Deaths Surround Obama!

OMG — I knew about several of these murders. However, the list is really extensive!
They got to the other list somehow..it like I need to copy and paste this one. ACK

Has Barry shown up at the hotel lobby in Edgartown to ostentatiously note the time on his watch (to thus establish his alibi)? It’s a Senate Democrat tradition in those parts!
If we hear nothing more of this, we know something is up.
Our 1st Mulatto President has many secrets and it’s hard to imagine a total stranger being this close to the compound without the SS knowing their identity.

QUESTIONS ARISE
Unconfirmed sources claim death of black male found near Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard home may not be due to drowning.
“He was taken out on the water by another individual and was most likely already dead.”
[Developing]
Hhhm.
Waiting for a credible source – this one doesn’t look the part.
The Former White House sous chef, body of Tafari Campbell, 45 was recovered Monday in the waters near their Martha’s Vineyard estate, Massachusetts police said.
Massachusetts State Police said Campbell was from Dumfries, Va., and “was visiting Martha’s Vineyard at the time of his passing. Apparently the OBMs weren’t at their residence at time of the incident.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/7/24/23806165/obama-chef-drowns-marthas-vineyard-tarari-campbell
Yep, they report a lot of “developing stories” that never develop. Clickbait IMO.
Reggie where are you!? Raise your hand!
OK. So how quickly will the narrative get hijacked by the deep state and their state-media ballwashers?
Well, that’s too young to be Michelle.
Russia is 7 hrs ahead of NY
Can anyone find the time of the drone attacks?
It’s looking like it happened about same time as the drowning, before or after, same time?
Was this a msg to Obama?
Maybe someone mistook him for Barry. With SS all over the place they didn’t see or hear anything?
It’s Massachusetts, doubt we’ll ever know the truth.
I remember after Andrew Breitbart died, the coroner was going to give his findings, the morning of the press conference it was reported he had died , he had been poisoned.
Is this the ‘Bama-quiddick event?
What does the price of the property have to do with the story?
Is someone being blackmailed for $12Million?
43 was the deceased’s age. How do they know he’s 43 if “unidentified?”
Know what else? George W was the 43rd President.
Didn’t Trump’s bagman get called in to testify and all that? If this was Barry’s bagman it brings Arkanside to mind for sure. And of course a look over here and not there sort of episode. Again.
Sad for the family.
It’s Shark Week! 🙂
https://www.discovery.com/shark-week
that’s it…a Sharknado was the cause!!!!
They should see if his hyoid bone is broken.
Mooseshelle might have been jealous.
WOW! Looks like the Reggie Love Boat sank!!
Chrissy Wray will takeover the investigation along with the DOJ/SPIN Division. Nooses will be found nearby and, if the culprit is not Climate Change, then it’s gotta be Trump.
Obama’s chef.
LOL… Obama sends Fredo on a boat ride….
It was his personal chef that they took from the White House. He was married and had twin sons.
His name was Tafari Campbell.
The dog was not prepared to Obama’s liking.
That’s so wrong! 😄
Closer MO gets to declaring, the more they need to take care of business
