Former US President Barack Obama and his family mourn the loss of an employee. Tafari Campbell first worked for the politician as a sous chef in the White House and later became the personal chief of the Obamas. Now the American magazine “People” reports that Campbell has passed away at the age of 45.

As the police announced in a statement, Campbell visited Martha’s Vineyard Island on Sunday, where the Obamas also have their properties. However, they weren’t there. He then entered the water with a paddleboard nearby.
A distress call was later made because “a male paddleboarder entered the water, then appeared to struggle to stay afloat, then dived underwater and never surfaced again.” The search for Campbell began, but it was not until 10 a.m. the next morning that divers found him “about 100 feet from shore at a depth of about 8 feet.”
After the tragic death of their chief, the Obamas released a statement:
In the years that followed, they got to know him as “a warm, funny and extremely friendly person”. That’s why they asked Campbell at the time if he wanted to continue working for them after Barack Obama resigned as president and left the White House. “He has been a part of our lives ever since and it breaks our hearts that he is gone.” Campbell is survived by his wife and twin sons.
