On Tuesday, the cause and manner of death has been released for Obama’s longtime personal chef, Tafari Campbell.
On July 23, 45-year-old Tafari Campbell met his tragic end while paddle boarding on Great Edgartown Pond, Martha’s Vineyard. A female Obama staffer was reportedly paddle boarding with him.
According to witness accounts, without a life jacket and wasn’t tethered to his board, Campbell lost his balance and fell off his paddleboard into the water. Desperately struggling to stay afloat, he eventually slipped beneath the surface, never to resurface again.
Campbell, who could swim as evidenced by a video he’d previously posted, was found in eight feet deep water.
After conducting a thorough investigation and performing an autopsy, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Massachusetts officially ruled Campbell’s cause of death as an “accident,” Boston Herald reported.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner on Tuesday released the finalized cause and manner of death for Campbell:
- Cause: Drowning
- Manner: Accident
- How injury occurred: Submersion in a body of water
Although the exact details of the autopsy have not been released to the public, Timothy McGuirk, a spokesman for the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, confirmed that no external trauma or injuries were found on Campbell’s body.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Martha’s Vineyard law enforcement appears to have left a significant void in the details surrounding the tragic drowning of Obama’s private chef, Tafari Campbell.
The call log of the 911 distress call, received on the night of the accident, conspicuously omits the reason for the call.
On the night of the incident, the Edgartown Police Department’s logs confirm the receipt of a 911 distress call at precisely 7:46 pm, reporting the 45-year-old struggling to stay afloat on the surface before he drowned.
Oddly, the call log shows the reason for this call as BLANK – an inconsistency, considering that all other calls made that night had their reasons clearly mentioned.
Adding to the mystery, the call’s origin was marked as Wilson’s Landing, a popular paddle board launch site roughly two miles from the Obama residence on Turkeyland Cove. This information contradicts the Massachusetts State Police records, stating that the first call originated from the Obamas’ residence.
It was a Secret Service agent who made the emergency call from the Obama estate in Edgartown, sources revealed.
In response to queries about the call log, Edgartown Police Chief Bruce McNamee speculated that this might be due to the call being made on a direct line rather than dialing 911, which would automatically generate location data. The address, he added, was listed as Wilson’s Landing since that was the location of the command post, and the exact location of the incident was unclear at the time of the call.
Earlier this month, the Daily Mail revealed how Massachusetts state police are covering up basic information regarding the drowning of Barack Obama’s personal chef while still labeling his death an “accident.”
Justin Silverman, the head of the region’s First Amendment coalition, explained to the Daily Mail that police are abusing the public records law after ruling out foul play.
The burden is on law enforcement to show how their investigation may be jeopardized by releasing certain information. And they’re not doing that right now. This really flies in the face of Public Records Law.
The cover-up goes even deeper, though. State police officials are making sure that other agencies involved in the response follow their lead.
They have even armed departments with rejection letters to send to the media, which has been bombarding agencies with questions.
Here is what one of them says:
Hello. At this time, we will not be releasing any recordings or materials, the message read, and cited the state Public Records Law, noting it exempts the release of records that ‘would probably so prejudice the possibility of effective law enforcement that such disclosure would not be in the public interest.
The exemption allows investigative officials to withhold materials that could compromise investigative efforts if disclosed.
Major Susan Schofield, the supervisor of communications for the sheriff’s office, only made excuses when pressed by the Daily Mail.
Sorry, I’m trying to abide by the law. Obviously, we’re getting a lot of requests and we don’t like to not give out information, but we can’t.
