Roughly five miles from Martha Vineyard’s Chappaquiddick, a joint-agency search team found the body of a 43-year-old black male shortly before 10 a.m. Monday after a search of Edgartown Great Pond triggered by a 7:46 p.m. Sunday call from 79 Turkeyland Cove Road—the estate of President Barack Obama.
According to a Massachusetts State Police release, the man’s body was recovered 100 feet from the shore at a depth of roughly eight feet.
Massachusetts Environmental Police officers searched the depths with side-scan sonar from a boat, the release said. The man was paddleboarding with a companion, who watched the drowned man enter the water, struggle to stay on the surface, and then go underwater without returning.
There is no known direct connection between the Obamas and the incident, and the companion may have gone to the nearest house for help—the Obama estate.
Obama has not yet made a statement
