evidence: After a body was found near President Barack Obama's Martha's Vineyard estate on Monday, July 24, it's been revealed it was the former president's personal chef Tafari Campbell, Massachusetts police announced. "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," a statement read. "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," the message concluded of Campbell, who went to work for the couple when they left the White House.
