Massachusetts State Police confirmed that the family’s private chef and close friend lost his balance and fell in the water while paddleboarding on Edgartown’s Great Pond beside the former president’s $12 million estate on the island.

The multi-agency search continued into the night, with fire companies from across the island descending on Edgartown’s Great Pond with boats and divers, along with Massachusetts state police, the Dukes County Sheriff’s Department, and the Coast Guard. The witness directed rescuers to one area where Campbell was thought to have gone under. Crews diligently searched the location that night but did not find a body.

‘Tafari was a beloved part of our family,’ the couple said. ‘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. ‘ Share or comment on this article: EXCLUSIVE: Sasha Obama, 22, beats the heat in a flowy patchwork dress as she steps out at an electric car charging station in LA – one week after family chef Tafari Campbell drowned in Martha’s Vineyard e-mail Add comment Comments 4 Share what you think Newest Oldest Best rated Worst rated View all The comments below have been moderated in advance.
