BREAKING: 911 Call Released After Obama’s Personal Chef Drowned Near Residence
A chilling 911 audio recording has been released detailing the desperate search and rescue attempt for Tafari Campbell, Barack Obama’s personal chef, who tragically drowned while paddleboarding near the former president’s Martha’s Vineyard residence.
The call, made on July 23, 2023, reported, “We have a male drowning in the back of the property right now.” Despite the swift response by rescue swimmers, they were initially unable to locate Campbell. Following his tragic death, it was revealed that Campbell was dressed in all black and did not wear a life preserver.
“So our rescue swimmers aren’t able to locate the gentleman that was reported drowning. So they’re out in the water right now, but as of now they have no… they don’t know where he is,” the caller explained.

In a backdrop to this tragedy, there was a shift in the narrative about the presence of the Obamas. Initial reports suggested that the Obamas were not at their Martha’s Vineyard residence at the time of the accident. However, this account was later updated, stating the couple was indeed on the island, but not at their home when the unfortunate incident unfolded.
Tafari Campbell, aged 45, had a close relationship with the Obamas. Serving as a sous chef during their time in the White House, Campbell continued his culinary services for the family post their presidential term.
Adding to the enigma of his drowning were reports that Campbell had taken swimming lessons as recently as 2019. His social media also portrayed a man in peak physical condition, often sharing his fitness achievements, including swimming and weightlifting workouts.
