In a tragic sequence of events that unfolded in July, Tafari Campbell, a 45-year-old personal chef to the Obama family, drowned after falling off a paddleboard in a pond near the former president’s estate in Martha’s Vineyard. Now, the 911 calls have been released, showing the frantic attempts to save Campbell by Secret Service agents and staff members present on the property at the time.

According to a Daily Mail exclusive report, the calls show that an agent identified as Dave made the first of two emergency calls to 911, explaining that there was “a male drowning in the back of the property now.”

A Secret Service agent at Barack Obama's Martha's Vineyard estate called 911 for help rescuing chef Tafari Campbell after he'd fallen off a paddle board, dramatic audio of the calls obtained by DailyMail.com reveal.

'We have a male drowning in the back of the property right now,' the agent named Dave tells a dispatcher at the 911 call center the night of July 23. 'We have our rescue swimmers. They're attempting to go out there right now.'

The agent reported that that there were already swimmers in the water trying to find the 'house guest' who'd fallen.

Audio from two initial calls, shared Tuesday by the Dukes County Sheriff's Office, were heavily redacted, bleeping out names and other specifics about those involved and the property.

But the calls show early chaos as Secret Service, staff and others on site scrambled to get help after the Obamas' personal chef Campbell, 45, fell into the water.

The former president would arrive minutes later, but there was no mention of him on the calls, nor was there any word of another paddle boarder who was with Campbell at the time, who sources tell DailyMail.com was a 26-year-old female Obama staff member.

The initial call to emergency services came when an unidentified staffer ran to the Secret Service command post to let them know that Campbell had fallen into the water. “Someone came running up to our back post, saying a gentleman, it’s just a guest of the house, is out there drowning,” Dave explained.

When asked about the need for an ambulance or water rescue assistance, the agent stumbled for a moment, admitting that he wasn’t sure what was happening “in the back of the property.” Out of caution, he suggested calling an ambulance.

The agent pauses to ask those who were with him at the estate, then replies to the dispatcher: 'They didn't advise right now. I would say at least an ambulance. I don't know what they're doing in the back of property right now. We have our rescue swimmer who's getting the boat right now. So, um, I would say at least an ambulance.'

The dispatcher tells him he'll dispatch an ambulance and contact the fire chief to see about an additional boat.

Minutes after the first call concluded, Dave called 911 again, telling them that “our rescue swimmers aren’t able to locate the gentleman that was reported drowning.”

Unfortunately, despite efforts to rescue him, Campbell’s body was not found until the next day, located in eight feet of water about 100 feet from the Obamas’ home. The cause of death was ruled as an accidental drowning. Secret Service agents noted that they did not suspect “foul play” in Campbell’s demise.

The Obamas paid tribute to Campbell in a statement. “Tafari was a beloved part of our family,” they wrote, remembering him as a “warm, fun, extraordinarily kind person.” He had previously served as a sous chef at the White House before the family asked him to join their staff as personal chef.

There have been numerous questions surrounding the incident, especially concerning the fact that Campbell did not know how to swim. Others have also questioned the lack of transparency coming from the authorities about the incident. Still, the Secret Service has maintained its stance that the drowning was a tragic accident.
