The body of an Obama staffer who went missing while paddle boarding in a pond‌ behind Barack Obama’s vineyard estate on Martha’s Vineyard was recently discovered.

It was reported that Tari Campbell,​ 45,​ was out with another paddle ⁣boarder in Edgartown‍ Great Pond, Massachusetts, before he eventually went missing on Sunday ​evening. Emergency crews were dispatched ⁢to Obama’s residence.

Witnesses say that the man went underwater but then briefly reappeared before sinking once more as he‌ struggled to stay afloat at⁣ around 7:46 p.m.

A massive joint-agency search was ‍scheduled for Sunday night in hopes ​of discovering the man’s body. He was last seen wearing all black attire without a life jacket.

Edgartown Police sent out a‌ statement at around 10 p.m. on Sunday to alert locals.

“EPD is assisting⁢ multiple agencies searching for a missing adult male paddle boarder in Edgartown Great Pond,” the alert​ stated.

“Please remain away from this⁣ area and allow ⁣emergency ⁣responders⁢ to perform their search.”

The ⁣U.S. Coast​ Guard, Edgartown Fire, Air Wing, Dukes County Sheriff’s Department, and a few ⁢detectives ⁤were all apart of the search ⁤team working to find his missing body.

Professional divers ⁢later discovered the man’s remains in eight-foot-deep water around 100 feet away from shore at 10 a.m. on Monday.

The incident’s location reported ⁢to dispatch was at the former president’s property on Martha’s Vineyard.‍ However, Obama owns ‌several homes, and was not currently residing at the‌ estate at the time of the‍ drowning.

“Tafari was a beloved part of our family. When we first met him, he was a talented sous chef at the White House – creative‌ and passionate about food,‌ and its ability ‌to bring‍ people together. In the years that followed, we got to know him as a ⁤warm, fun, ‍extraordinarily kind ⁤person⁢ who made all of our lives a little brighter,” the Obamas said in a joint statement.

“That’s why, when we were getting ready to leave ⁣the White House, we asked Tafari ⁢to ‌stay with us, and he generously agreed. He’s⁢ been part of our lives ever since, and our hearts are broken that he’s gone. Today we join everyone who knew and loved‍ Tafari – especially his wife Sherise and their twin boys, Xavier‍ and⁤ Savin – in grieving the loss of a truly wonderful ⁤man.”
