The recent drowning of former White House and Obama personal chef Tafari Campbell marks the second time a former White House chef has died by drowning within the last decade.
Back in 2015, Former White House chef for Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Walter Scheib went missing while hiking outside the city of Taos, New Mexico.
According to authorities, Scheib went missing after hiking in the Taos Ski Valley, located about 10 miles outside of Taos.
After several days of searching, Scheib’s dead body was found by an emergency rescue team and a state medical examiner confirmed it was likely he died by drowning.
The hiking trail Scheib was on was known to have flash floodings and mudslides during the summer months.
Tafari Campbell somehow isn’t the first White House chef to drown.
In 2015, A former White House executive chef was found dead in the mountains of New Mexico.
An autopsy determined the nature of Walter Scheib’s death was accidental, a department statement said.
