The death of Obama family personal chef Tafari Campbell has been labelled “not suspicious” as authorities in Martha’s Vineyard revealed that he was not tethered to his paddleboard when he tragically drowned in a pond near the former president’s residence.

Campbell’s body was pulled from Edgartown Great Pond on Monday after witnesses saw him submerge and never reappear. Mr Obama later confirmed that the 45-year-old had worked for his family at the White House and then joined them as their personal chef when his term ended.
