The recent drowning death of Tafari Campbell, the Obama family’s personal chef, was ruled an accident. State police have

said former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama weren’t home when Campbell was seen struggling in the water July 23 while paddleboarding near the family’s Martha’s Vineyard summer home off the Massachusetts coast. But conspiracy theories have abounded in the weeks since.: that Campbell suffered blunt force trauma, that the Obamas used their own coroner for his autopsy, that he drowned in 3 to 4 feet of water, and that the 911 call for Campbell was delayed.

"Barrack Obama reacts to chef’s wife blaming him for the d*ath of her husband Talafi Cambell," the post says, misspelling several names. "I am deeply saddened by the loss of Tafari Campbell who was not just an employee but a valued member of our extended family," says a voice that sounds similar to Obama’s but overly robotic."My heart goes out to Sherise and their twin sons during this unimaginably difficult time. It’s essential to understand the profound pain Sherise is going through and I respect the grieving process.
