Tori Bowie Cause of Death, The cause of death for pregnant Olympic gold medalist Tori Bowie was disclosed: A coroner determined that Tori Bowie died as a result of problems during childbirth one month after she was discovered dead in her Florida home. At the time, the Olympian was eight months along.
According to an autopsy report obtained by USA Today Sports, Tori Bowie, a former sprinter who won both the Olympic and world championships, passed away at home from problems related to childbirth.
After the local sheriff’s deputies did “a well-being check of a woman… who had not been seen or heard from in several days,” the 32-year-old was discovered deceased at her Orlando, Florida, home in May. At the time, no cause of death was disclosed. As per Bowie’s online obituary, her daughter Ariana predeceased her.
According to a coroner’s report that TMZ was able to obtain, the 32-year-old, who won three medals for Team USA at the 2016 Olympics, passed away on May 2 at her Florida home due to complications with childbirth. According to the article, the athlete was “undergoing labor” and was roughly eight months pregnant when she died.
On the international stage, Bowie brought the US three gold medals. Her debut came while she was a member of the 2016 Olympic USA 4x100m relay squad. In 2017, she had even greater success, winning the 100-meter individual gold medal in a photo finish over Marie-Josée Ta Lou of the Ivory Coast at the World Athletics Championships in London.
The 37-year-old went on to say, after revealing that Bowie had “struggled off the track” and was “increasingly isolated,” “I’m grateful to have caught up with her when I last saw her. I felt compelled to see her once more. I only once visited Mississippi, and I don’t recall it. However, I won’t quickly forget this vacation, and I’ll always remember Tori.
In the 100-meter and 200-meter events, respectively, she earned a silver and a bronze medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. Her obituary states that, prior to her passing, she was a music student at Full Sail University and had experience working with disadvantaged kids.
