Netizens are questioning news reports that claimed that Tafari Campbell died from a paddleboarding accident. The 45-year-old worked as a personal chef to former US president Barack Obama. He died during his recent trip to Martha’s Vineyard. Internet users are finding it hard to believe that he died due to the water sport considering his proficiency in swimming.
Tafari Campbell was visiting Massachusetts Island from his Virginia home. He went missing in the Edgartown Great Pond waters on Sunday. Police endlessly searched for the food connoisseur until they received a call about a male paddleboarder who had reportedly “gone into the water.” The police announced that they were told that Campbell:
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.
Law enforcement announced that the Obama family was not present at their residence at the time of Campbell’s accident.

There is more going on here ... not all the story.
“considering his proficiency in swimming.”
First reported he could not swimm.
Later a video show him barely swimming.
Now he is a proficient swimmer!
Helps the conspiracists!
Where did the factoid that he was a proficient swimmer come from?Good question.
It's an unusual word to use in this case, as well as "avid" and "enthusiastic."
On the day it happened, I saw a news report that showed a video of him taking swimming lessons and saying "progress..."
It sounds to me like he was "enthusiastic" about learning to swim, he was "avid" in taking his lessons, and he was "proficient" at swimming like JFK Jr. was "proficient" at flying an airplane to Martha's Vineyard.
He wasn't "proficient," he was learning. It's no different than claiming someone who died in a car accident was a "proficient" driver despite still taking driving lessons.

Homo lovers spat - except one of them has power (secret service) over life and death.
The Massachusetts State Police are under the firm control of Rat Party Headquarters. So we can be sure that their findings won’t reflect badly on the Party or any of its ‘patron saints”.
I suspect a medical emergency, i.e. stroke or heart attack, which made him unable to cling to the board after he went into the water. Perhaps due to the covid shot.
If he worked for the Clintons I would wonder what really happened.
If you can barely swim with flippers on, you have absolutely no chance if you spill unexpectedly off a paddleboard in open water - with no lifejacket.
It's a shame, but often the learning swimmer overestimates his ability more than somebody who doesn't swim at all.
What’s the deal with blacks and swimming?
Every single white person I know can swim.
Nothing nefarious, just a tragic accident. But why not go with this story? Was something else going on? Why hiding the name of the fellow paddle boarder? That's the strange part of event - and the silence just invites questions and speculations.
Had he given a publisher the first draft of his book?
What about the bullet holes?
I feel certain that if one of PDJT’s servants died while “paddleboarding” at midnight near Mar-A-Lago, the MSM wouldn’t ask too many questions and would let the story die an early death.
I grew up with a close friend who was A-A. This statement confirms something he told me.
It’s still under investigation. Maybe he had a cramp or was intoxicated. Hit his head, then drowned. Bad drug reaction.
Agreed. If the Obamas were not there, why was he?
Racism and climate change.

I don’t understand how this guy could have drowned
He looked to be in fantastic shape and water within an estuary aren’t a problem
I once swam from the Danta Cruz Boardwalk to the furthest body offshore, got caught in a riptide on the way back.
I has just trained on navigating a riptide, two weeks earlier.
I planed my body and Dean perpendicular to the shore for 1/2 mile before landing at the beach
This guy looks he could do that
