The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner on Tuesday released the finalized cause and manner of death.
The Obamas’ 45-year-old personal chef died from an accidental drowning near the former president’s Martha’s Vineyard estate, according to the state’s Chief Medical Examiner.
Campbell was not wearing a personal flotation device and he was not leashed to the paddleboard when he lost balance and went underwater. Another paddleboarder on the pond told police that Campbell was standing on his paddleboard, lost his balance and fell into the water — then struggled to stay afloat before going underwater. The fellow paddleboarder tried to swim to Campbell’s location, but did not reach him in time.
