The death of former US president Barack Obama‘s personal chef Tafari Campbell in the Massachusetts resort community of Martha’s Vineyard was an accident, a state official said on Tuesday.

Campbell, 45, died while paddleboarding in the waters close to the former president’s home in late July. His body was recovered a day later with the aid of sonar technology about 100 feet from the shore and eight feet underwater in Edgartown Great Pond, a large coastal pool connected to the Atlantic.
