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?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/breaking-update-43-year-old-black-man-drowns/
May he rest in peace
This is so sad yet baffling. Why would a man paddleboard with no life jacket while knowing he did not have swimming skills?
It’s what you do when you get Arkancided.
Very hard to sink in a wet suit. It is like a full body life perserver. Maybe it is Obama and not Reggie Love.
Where on Earth did you get that? A wet suit is NOT a PFD personal flotation device. I wonder if he thought that. Initial reports said he was wearing all black. Your comment is proof of dumb things posted on internet.
If global warming is such a huge risk, why do all these so-called “elites” have massive oceanfront estates such as the one we see pictured above? Obama clearly does not believe global warming is much of a risk at all in terms of rising sea levels, since he has not only the MV estate but also has another oceanfront estate in Hawaii.
Someone wrote an essay about 2 months ago after doing research they could not confirm that Barry and Mike actually owned any of the properties they squat in.
Link please! Sounds interesting.
I believe this.
Obama also installed propane tanks – https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/gas-prices-obama-propane-tanks
A huge propane cylinder tank holding a lot of propane!
Spirit Cooking uses a lot of gas.
With waterfront property you can hop in a little speedboat and zip out a mile or 2 and get picked up by a Soros yacht! If the torch and pitchfork mob is at the end of your driveway … you’re outta there! No traffic jams, getting pulled over by law enforcement, customs, passports, etc. etc.
Or a private submarine (as was used with Epstein Island).
Oceangate has a few sitting Shiva, something about safety concerns. Maybe that was a ruse too. Lol
Hunter has been living in a Malibu beachfront property. I guess he’s not too worried about Al Gore’s “blue line” that ran through his bedroom?
Al Gore lives in an oceanfront mansion in Encititas, CA. It’s near Swamy the surfing beach around Carlsbad.
What happens to sea level when a glacier melts?
Same thing as when an ice cub melts in your glass: nothing except for a temperature change, as the ice cube( frozen) displaced exactly as much water as, well, water that comes as a result of the cube melting.
Gee, Mr. Wizard!!
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hush.
Science. It’s nothing but mal, dis, or mis-information in today’s world.
Bill Gates spent $50 million for a beachfront home only yards from the Pacific Ocean in Delmar, CA. It is literally on the sand and he bought it about a year ago!
What?
If it was the chef I’m switching my wildly unsubstantiated speculation to the clot shot.
Body has been identified as Tafari Campbell….Obama’s personal chef that initially started at the White House as as sous chef. He is married with twin boys. Guess the Reggie Love rabbit hole is shut down…at least for now.
It is reported that Obama was not at the residence when Tafari drowned.
See article on Gateway Pundit.
AGAIN? ANOTHER WH CHEF? June 25, 2015
Ex-White House chef died by drowning, autopsy shows- Walter Scheib’s death was accidental, a department statement said.
Scheib, who served under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
https://www.cnn.com/2015/06/24/politics/white-house-chef-missing-found-dead/index.html
I had just put my tin foil hat away due to the heat. Guess I’ll get it back on after reading this link…
Guess if it works once, just keep using/doing it.
I’m willing to bet he did not drown, and no or little water was found in his lungs. Clot shot victim.
I found a humorous, but sad, headline when I was reading about zoo animals who died after being vaccinated.
“Two-toed sloth at New Jersey zoo dies suddenly.”
Its hard to laugh at that headline about the sloth…but I did. Poor sloth.
When I was a kid in central America, we used to pick up those critters and carry them around like babies….until we saw the bugs crawling out of their fur….
Aren’t they so slow they have moss growing on them?
They are a biosphere unto themselves.
Hey, that’s exactly what that halfrican moslem homosexual discovered on his wedding night about his husband “Michelle”!
Good work.
Hey SunnyFlower5..
Check out nichan’s link to chicago sun times post @ 6:21 previous page:
“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.”
—————–
And now compare with the 2015 link you posted:
“Hillary and I are saddened by the tragic passing of former White House executive chef Walter Scheib,” the Clintons said in a statement Monday.”
“Our family was grateful to have Walter with us in the White House for six years, where we and visitors from around the world loved his delicious and creative meals,” the statement said. “Walter used his immense talents not only to represent the very best of American cuisine to visiting leaders, but to make a difference in people’s lives across the country through his support of numerous charities. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and many friends.”
On Monday, former first Lady Laura Bush issued a statement expressing sympathy for Scheib’s loved ones.
“Walter was an outstanding talent. He prepared magnificent dinners for world leaders and delicious family fare for our family and friends,” Bush said.
———–
These are strangely similar … Perhaps the White house uses outline / form letters for occasions like this?
What did this chef know … and when was he whistleblowing?
What did the former WH food tasters/testers know and when did he know it? Something is fishy here.
Asking for a friend….
Was the wife and their twins also at the Obama estate on vacation? Or was he just visiting? Or does Tamari’s family also live on the island? Or was he still working as a chef?
GP article says another paddle-boarder saw him go under. Whaaaaat??? And they don’t try to rescue him? Who was this other paddle-boarder?? And why would the call come from the Obama house? Other paddle boarder must have had access to the house, no? Will keep watching this story….
yes I agree lots of questions that do/do not invoke conspiracy theories but that is how they all will be categorized. Will we ever know the truth? Even if the undisputable, clear truth came out…would we trust it given how the FBI and SS lie…..I wouldn’t!!!
More natural commonsense questions being raised.
Will the story keep changing now? If it does, truth will not be found no matter who says what because it is already reported the Secret Service (were these the residence’s WH secret service) did NOT comment.
No fingerprints, DNA sample or leads from paddleboat or rowing oar found, the Secret Service says…/s
Would he ever be at the residence if a body shows up?
No. And that doesn’t mean he wasn’t in the house, on the backporch, or on the pond too. It just means that if asked, he wasn’t there…..
The Massachusetts police on the Vinyard have a record of covering up high profile deaths like Mary Jo Keopeckne with appropriate “narratives” and alibis.
For those who believe the initial report word for word, go ahead if you want to.
Paul Revere is spot on.
Hummm…many bodies have connected to bho. Soon he will overtake hrc’s body count.
Got aways to go.
Yes. During Barry’s 2008 campaign didn’t 2 gay guys from Rev ‘G-D’ Wright’s church end up murdered and one was suggested to be Obama’s lover? And then his grandmother died after he won nomination(not sure whether then or when he was elected in Nov) in 2008. Remember reading he flew to Hawaii to clean out her belongings.
The paddleboarder looks to be another of BO’s ‘es pe ci al’ guy pals.
It’s Obama’s personal chef. He was in Whitehouse also. How weird. Where’s Big Mike.
Big Mike doesn’t cook.
That doesn’t mean the halfrican moslem homosexual’s husband “Michelle” doesn’t lurk in the kitchen looking for or serving the tube steak in there…
Does the Halfrican drive an Oldsmobile?
Just askin ‘ ?
Probably a Pontiac.
Yes, a Delta 88 complete with curb feelers and those rubber lightning strips hanging off the back bumper
What did he know and when did he know it?
Still glad to be reading here at CTH which had the only really open discussion, even in the alt-media, of what was going on here.
RIP to this young chef and prayers for his family.
The circumstances are still just a tad sketchy so one never knows for sure it was pure accident. Anyone in such a position could always hear something people wanted to cover up.
But, for now – looks settled.
RIP Tafari
No more “Surfin” Tafari !
Okay, now that was pretty dam good, Boogy!
Let’s go swimming now … nobody’s ever learning how … come on and drown in a pond with me … ?
There are several black people-only enclaves in the Hamptons, and the Obamas home is in one of these enclaves.
I am sure many folks that read this are familiar with the original ‘Manchurian Candidate” with Frank Sinatra. Erie similarities here with the movie specifically the part where “Raymond” drowns the Senator who kayaks in the river at the same time every day. Creepy
Where else do you think they got the idea from?
We’ve now learned the man who drowned while paddleboarding in front of Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard estate was Tafari Campbell, their sous chef in the White House and current personal chef, but this raises some important questions:
Who else was with him? A 2nd paddleboarder was reported
Was there any foul play? Pushing? Shoving?
Was he provided a life vest? If not, why not?
Is there video footage? I imagine Obama’s house has extensive surveillance footage
Was he under the influence? If so, who served him and allowed him to paddleboard while drunk?
How long did people wait to call 911 after he was submerged?
Were any Secret Service present? If so, did they assist?
It’s always a tragedy when a life is lost, but this deserves an investigation to see if anyone else was at fault
Where are the cameras/ videos?
Who was the second paddle boarder?
On the glassy shoal.
Did Obama walk back home, dry off, change clothes, and go back to the party?……..like Uncle Teddy?…..
This will be the White House coke suspect
Who will make dinner tonight?
So, was he really just a chef?
Was Obama the other paddleboarder?
I just read somebody’s post on here about the Obama dead pool. He’s closing on on those Clintons? OMG!
I read many, many years ago Clintons were at 122. Obozo has a way to go yet. I do remember before he was elected a young lady was murdered when she was searching for a ladie’s room in a building in Chicago and had the unfortunate luck of running into Obama and a ‘friend’ in one of the rooms. I heard she was later found murdered, not a big newsmaker. She saw Obama in the hall with his clothes in disarray, friend was in the room. Early early in his campaign.
Kam Kuwata.
Murdred at the DNC convention. He saw strange goings on and chanting coming from O’s room. It may have been a Subud chant.
I wonder how many people know of obama’s resemblance to Subud?
Subud surely was involved in the unfortunately at that time innocent trafficked (by his own mother) toddler, young Barry’s indoctrination into the fine art of Bacha Bazi, supported and re-inforced by young Barry’s ladyboy nanny, so “Michelle” later makes sense…
No doubt the Edgartown PD will solve this ASAP. After all, they got to the bottom of Chappaquidick FAST! /s
Wrong black man!

HIS HYPOCRISY IS SO RICH!
Authorities were quick to release a name. We have to assume this was a tragic accident until we have proof that it wasn’t.
William E. Colby CIA Director from 1973 to 1976 drowned in the Potomac in April 1996, while canoeing.
There is still some question whether he was assassinated or not.
So, who knows about the sous chef…
I remember reading about that!
No, we do not assume anything.
We vet and verify.
Yes, tragic, very tragic, a father and I presume a husband.
We don’t have to assume anything. Let the facts be known. Someone knows. Video was recorded. Etc
He was a Liberal and Liberals ALWAYS know better. Like JFK Jr and flying in conditions that he was not licensed for.
Can’t wait to hear the Kuhner Report WRKO Boston in the morning. The well informed Massachusetts audience should have an interesting take on this. People who know the area.
RIP sir, condolences to your family.
Dunno about that. I held my nose and listened to some Howie Carr in the 4 pm hour, seeking local angle. Not even the slightest mention. Phooie.
Tafari Campbell- the personal chef? Disclosetv was the source
For that
Perverted male gay jealousy/extortion retaliation BS.
F Them!
Too bad he didn’t take Barry and Mike with him.
What’s a body man!? Guard?
There’s a thread for that.
Four pages worth.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to determine how many times this question has already been answered.

STOP IT!!!🤣🤣🤣
Love the cat!
The wrong one is wearing the lipstick.
Obama once said “you cant put lipstick on a pig”
LOL
And then that halfrican moslem homosexual’s husband “Michelle” had to go and prove him wrong, again and again…
Let the eat cake once their drowned !
I would have liked to been a fly on the wall when Reggie had that chat with St Peter
It wasn’t Reggie.
The good news is he will still be voting Democrat.
A personal chef to BO is a scumbag – no decent person would go near those people.

It seems he learned with his bosses:
EVERY TIME I see this pic/photo,
I want to PUKE, or “make things “right”..
( Can’t say anything else but the above, since I have to avoid other “concerns”, IF ya know what I mean.)
‘Nuff said.

GOD Bless~!

Poor Robert Hunter himself repeatedly used Joey Shitferbrainz Robbin’it Biden, Jr.’s callsign in text messages: “PedoPete”.
Just so folks know. The post with the pic of the two Bidens was supposed to be in another topic,
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/07/24/hunter-biden-business-associate-to-testify-as-witness-that-vp-joe-biden-was-on-phone-calls-organizing-influence-needs/
where the pic is posted, but apparently since I had more than one tab open with this topic & the other topic, somehow I got distracted & posted it in this topic about the Obaminations “sous” chef by mistake.
My thinking about those two POS in the pic does not change though.
Maybe suicidal because O tried to fire him? Suspicious Cat, what do you think?
UPDATE: The victim has been identified as Tafari Campbell, who worked as a sous chef at the Obama White House.
Tafari Campbell didn’t sous himself
Il etait trouver sous-marin . . . par qui?
Lovers spat….????
That’s very sad that the Chef was lost. Forgive all my snarky comments … but hey!? What’s the internet for? The man seemed like a quality person who rose to the top of his profession … heck … White House sous chef! A life, well lived, but cut tragically short.
OTOH … if you don’t swim well … you should go out Paddle Boarding with a buddy at least. Oh! He did. So where was his buddy when he got into trouble? And hey! Sorry … but every living human should learn how to swim. So maybe he didn’t have that opportunity as a child? Well … he certainly did as an adult. If you’re not comfortable IN the water, then don’t go out ON the water.
Thing is, Tafari COULD swim well…
https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/CollinRugg/status/1683631230754119680
could swim? couldnt swim? I watched the video. Looked like my swimming. and I would not be paddle boarding w/o a life jacket. 8ft of water and 100ft from shore? Like the coke in WH this mystery will never be solved.
Nothing to see here. Move along. 🤔
Dang. There is just something about Martha’s Vineyard and eight feet of water…
RIP Mr. Campbell.
I am a paddle boarder. A lot about this doesn’t add up.
Even if you can’t swim ( which is absurd to be in the water if you can’t, but I digress ) the paddle boards are around eleven feet long.
you wear an ankle tether on one ankle so, when you fall, and you will, you don’t lose your board.
The board is so wide it’s almost impossible to flip. It’s super easy to only upper body float on it.
Even if you fall off, unless you got your head somehow , it’s almost impossible to drown.
He either had a stroke, heart attack , seizure or health emergency. Or he was under the influence.
Something extraordinary happened.
Or:
Did Obama walk back home, dry off change clothes, and go back to the party?……..like Uncle Teddy?…..
On This Day in History: Democrat Ted Kennedy Killed an Innocent Woman and Got Away With ItNever Forget: Mary Jo Kopechne drowned July 19, 1969
https://freebeacon.com/democrats/ted-kennedy-mary-jo-kopechne/
What happened next: Nothing. Kennedy, the youngest brother of former president John F. Kennedy, fled the scene of the accident, which likely occurred sometime after midnight. He did not report it to police until 10 a.m. the following day.

Drowning is … a very stealthy way to murder someone. Consider the case of heiress Margaret Lesher, wife of local N.CA media mogul, Dean Lesher. Margaret turned up drowned in the deep of the night on some tacky lake in AZ. Survived by her new husband (half her age) that she had only known for 6 mos.
https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/1997/09/drowning-california-socialite
Talk about an inheritance. Her jiggalo husband made off with tens of millions. Just don’t leave any marks … get her blind drunk or drugged so she doesn’t struggle.
Natalie Wood.
The deceased is Tafari Campbell, a White House sous chef when Obama was in office.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/7/24/23806165/obama-chef-drowns-marthas-vineyard-tarari-campbell
We’ll never know for sure what happened
Lol
I have never been to an Obama party.
I’m sure that the secret service is under a lot of pressure.
A lot of WTF is going on.
They’re used to it. Look how they handled cocaine in the WH. They’re pros at this.
If this happens in Chicago they would be all over it.
Like white on rice!
The body of the unidentified man has been confirmed to be Barack and Michelle Obama’s
personal chef, Tafari Campbell, aged 45.
R.I.P.
Could be a case of the chef who knew too much.
Sorry I guess we think alike!
Or a case of the chef who got groped by the halfrican moslem homosexual and his husband “Michelle” and was upset, or heard and got agitated (like a normal human being) over some typical obamination he walked in on, or the deceased made the mistake of trying to report some of their crimes he witnessed to LE, etc…
Just for some background:
https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/CollinRugg/status/1683631230754119680
Too many conspiracy theories here.
I think we can just put it down to the fact that blacks are poor swimmers.
now that tops the list
A Rastafarian who took one too many tokes.
It is notoriously easy to drown in lakes, ponds, rivers, etc. Currents and cold water column are unseen dangers. They can overcome even a strong swimmer very quickly. In the river near my house at least three or four people lose their lives each year, either by accidentally falling in or by not realizing how deep, cold and fast it is.
I NEVER swim in a natural body of water for this reason. On hot days I stick to the swimming pool.
It was in a pond behind the estate, he was wearing a wetsuit which is buoyant, and he was with someone who remains unnamed…
You appear to assume blacks are stupid and ignorant , so stupid and ignorant that therefore they are the only ones who don’t know that blacks are poor swimmers, and then, being ignorant of the fact that swimming is a skill needed for the following, disregarding the fact of his black self being a good swimmer or not, grabs someone’s board and goes out on an ocean “pond” in the evening in order to suddenly drown in no more than 8 feet of water no more than 100 feet from the shore, while someone else in the water watches them go under and not resurface, while someone else calls the authorities after seeing it from a window inside the mansion in which the Obamas reside but maybe weren’t in at that precise moment…
This is generally true. My daughter, who is black, is an excellent swimmer because I had her take lessons. That said, Tafari actually has Instagram photos documenting his hard work at improving his swimming abilities. So he actually did become a strong swimmer. He also had a floating board with him so…. he may have had an episode of some sort, seizure, blackout, effects of the clot shot, etc… All that said, still highly sus, but also very sad. He seems to have had a beautiful family and was incredibly talented.
Could this be the same guy? [Copied from another commenter on here]:
“Petitioner Tafari Campbell, an alien in the custody of the United States Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (collectively, “DHS”), has filed this pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 seeking release from detention at the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility (“BFDF”) in Batavia, New York, pending the execution of a final immigration order of removal issued against him.
