Even though authorities have labeled it as an accidental drowning, new revelations have only fueled people's curiosity. There are emerging details that raise more questions than they provide answers. One notable concern is the police withholding crucial information, such as who Campbell was with on the night of his tragic demise. Additionally, it's rather peculiar that the reason for the 911 call reporting the drowning has been left blank by the police.
From The Daily Mail:
At 7.46pm, a 911 call was made to report that he had fallen in and could not make it back to the surface.
That call is noted in Edgartown Police Department's logs, but the reason behind it is left noticeably blank. The reason for every other call for that night is given.
The origin of the call is also listed as Wilson's Landing - a paddle board launch site, some two miles from the Obamas' house on Turkeyland Cove, where Massachusetts State Police say the first call came from.
Edgartown police chief Bruce McNamee told DailyMail.com that the call log is generated by the Dukes County Sheriff’s Office.
He could only speculate on why the reason for the call is left blank, saying it may be because the caller from Obama’s property didn’t dial 911, which automatically generates location data, and instead made a direct call to a business line.
He also said the address was listed as Wilson’s Landing because that was the public launch used as the command post.
At the time the call came in, authorities didn’t know where the drowning occurred so used the staging site for the incident location, he chief said.
The property boasts a private beach from which a paddle board can be easily launched. At the time of the drowning, Barack and Michelle were out of the house.
It's unclear if Sasha and Malia - who were also in town - were at home, or out with friends or their parents.
At 11.40pm, another 911 call was made from a neighbors' house to report an elderly woman falling down the stairs.
Chief McNamee said it was entirely unrelated to the accident on the water.
The Obamas' office did not respond to requests to clarify who was in the house when Campbell's accident occurred.
Dispatch calls between the emergency services on Martha's Vineyard confirm there was a second paddle boarder on the water with him.
They also confirm that the original 911 call to report what had happened came from a female who, by 8.18pm, was out on the water on a boat going 'back and forth' - presumably looking for him.
'We met with the reporting party, she is on a boat with two individuals and they're going back and forth as well,' said one of the rescuers at 8.23pm.
That person also remains unidentified. It's unclear if they were the person Campbell was paddle boarding with.
I get that the police investigation might limit the details released for now, but there's something off about this death.
It's weird how everyone seems to brush it off as a mere accident, yet the police hold back crucial information, claiming it's not suspicious.
Honestly, the whole story just feels fishy to me.
