The Obama family's personal chef, Safari Campbell, tragically drowned while paddle boarding in Martha's Vineyard. He was not wearing a life jacket or a leash, which are essential for safety in this sport. Campbell lost his balance and fell into the water, struggling to stay afloat. Despite efforts from a companion who was paddle boarding with him, Campbell could not be saved. Paddleboard instructor Dee Schmitz emphasizes the importance of wearing a leash, as it prevents the board from drifting away in windy conditions. Without a leash, panic can set in as the board becomes tangled in weeds, making it difficult to escape.
