Fox News star Jesse Watters raised questions this week about the mysterious death of Barack Obama’s personal chef on Martha’s Vineyard over the summer, RadarOnline.com can report.
In a sudden development to come three months after Tafari Campbell drowned to death while paddleboarding near the Obama family’s private residence on the Massachusetts island in July, Watters questioned the narrative behind the 45-year-old Obama chef’s sudden and mysterious passing.
Tafari Campbell, 45, drowned to death near the Obama family's Martha's Vineyard home in July.
The Fox News star raised newfound questions about the incident after a partly redacted 911 call connected to the incident was released by Martha’s Vineyard authorities this week.
“The 911 call in the drowning of Obama's personal chef, Tafari Campbell, has been released,” Watters reported on Tuesday. “We knew a Secret Service agent placed a call after the female Obama staffer paddle-boarding with Tafari alerted him of the drowning.”
“Now we also know that there were two calls made,” he continued. “They've been released, heavily redacted, likely in order to protect the First Family.”
Watters then questioned why the Obama family was not mentioned on the redacted 911 call. He also questioned why the female Obama staffer who was said to be with Campbell at the time of his death was not mentioned.
Authorities released a redacted 911 call from the night of Campbell's death this week.
“There's no mention of the Obamas on the call,” the Jesse Watters Primetime host charged. “But we now know the former president arrived at the incident command post after the 911 call was placed and spoke to Secret Service and police.”
“There's also no mention on the call of the female Obama staffer who is paddle-boarding with Tafari when he drowned,” Watters continued. “We'll continue to update this story and again, our deepest condolences to Tafari's family.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Campbell, 45, drowned to death on July 23 while paddleboarding in Edgartown Great Pond on the south shore of Martha’s Vineyard.
