Officials in Massachusetts have released 911 recordings from a July incident where Barack Obama's personal chef fell off a paddle board and drowned near their property on Martha's Vineyard.
New 911 call audio released by officials in Massachusetts reveals a frantic search to rescue Barack Obama's personal chef who fell off a paddleboard near the former president's estate on Martha's Vineyard. Tafari Campbell, 45, went missing while paddleboarding in the Edgartown Great Pond on Martha's Vineyard on July 23. His body was recovered the following morning after an extensive search.
We have a male drowning in the back of the property. Right now. We have our rescue swimmers, they're attempting to go out there right now,' the Secret Service agent, named Dave, told the 911 operator. 'Someone came running up to our back post saying that a gentleman, it's just the guest of the house is out there drowning. So right now, rescue swimmers going out there,' the Secret Service agent said.
Secret Service spokesperson declined to comment on the 911 recordings, but said, 'This was an incredibly tragic day for everyone and our thoughts are with the Campbell and Obama families and the former President's staff.' Campbell was employed by Obama at the time of his death and was visiting Martha's Vineyard. Barack and Michelle Obama weren't present during the incident.
