A personal chef to the Obama family drowned while paddleboarding in Martha's Vineyard, police confirmed on Monday.
The body of Tafari Campbell, 45, of Dumfries, Va., was uncovered after a two-day search in Edgartown Great Pond, near a home owned by the Obamas. The Massachusetts State Police said the former president and first lady were not present at the time of the drowning.
Campbell had served as a White House sous chef during Barack Obama's presidency and left in 2016 to work for the former president and his wife.
The office of Barack and Michelle Obama did not immediately respond to NPR's request for comment, but in a joint statement shared with several news outlets, including the Associated Press, the couple characterized Campbell as a "beloved part of our family."
