She died giving birth to multi-medalist Tori Bowie; She was found days later at her home.
Tragic outcome for a triple Olympic medalist from the U.S. track and field team, who died trying to bring her baby into the world.
An already tragic death at just 32 years old has become an even more difficult subject to handle. The multi-Olympic medalist of athletics in the United States, Tori Bowie, died from complications in labor, reveals the forensic record to which the American media TMZ Sports had access on Monday.
According to the expert report, Tori Bowie was giving birth at home at the time of her death, which occurred on May 2. It was detailed that the athlete was 8 months pregnant and, judging by the investigations, went into labor, lay in bed and, unfortunately, lost her life there.
Sadly, it was days later that police found the athlete’s lifeless body inside her home in Florida. Family members asked the authorities for support to make sure she was okay, as it had been days since she had not answered calls or messages. When deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office entered her home, they found Tori dead.
But who was Tori Bowie?
At the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, Bowie won three medals, including a gold as a member of the women’s 4×100-meter relay team, a silver in the 100-meter dash and a bronze in the 200-meter dash.
In 2017, Tori was declared the fastest woman in the world: she won the 100m dash at the IAAF World Championships in London with a blistering time of 105 seconds.
At the time of her death, Tori’s management team told TMZ: “We lost an athlete, a dear friend, a daughter and a sister,” the sports agency said. “Tori was a champion… a beacon of light that shone so brightly! We are truly heartbroken and our prayers are with family and friends.”
