Just over a month after Tori Bowie, the champion American sprinter who won three medals at the 2016 Olympic Games, was found dead in her Florida home at age 32, a medical examiner reportedly found that she died from complications of childbirth.
Bowie’s autopsy, performed by the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office of Florida, revealed that she was “undergoing labor” when she died, according to a copy of the report obtained by TMZ Sports. The athlete was roughly eight months pregnant, and was carrying a “well developed fetus,” according to USA Today Sports, which also reviewed the report.
Her death was ruled due to natural causes, according to the report.
The exact nature of the complications that Bowie suffered were not immediately clear, but officials speculated that she had experienced respiratory distress and eclampsia, USA Today reported. Eclampsia is a condition where high blood pressure triggers seizures during pregnancy or shortly after birth, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The Orange County medical examiner’s office did not immediately return an after-hours request for comment from The Daily Beast.
It was reported shortly after Bowie’s death that she had been pregnant, but it was unclear at the time just how far along she was. An obituary published by the Florida funeral home that hosted her memorial service said that the runner had been “preceded in death” by her daughter, who was named as Ariana Bowie.
Officials said at the time that results of pending toxicology tests could take up to three months to complete.
County sheriff’s deputies had been sent to Bowie’s home on May 2 after receiving reports that a woman in her early 30s had not been seen or heard from in several days.

That’s a very sad story.
Crow will be served as the main course.
Not clear whether home delivery was planned or whether she just couldn’t get to a phone.
This is so sad.
Doesn’t sound like anybody was with her
I’ve stopped following the Olympics so i’ve never heard of her however RIP to mother and child.
If she was eight months and they don’t mention apparent environmental evidence that she was even preparing for such, I doubt it was “natural” birth attempt.
Eclampsia or pre eclampsia can appear quickly and needs immediate hospitalization
I wonder if she were receiving regular pre-natal care? I know eclampsia can come on very quickly.
I had wonderful, regular pre-natal care - but started hemorrhaging after giving birth to my daughter, doctor told me later they weren't sure at the time if they could stop the bleeding. Scared me to death and no reason was ever given.
How did a woman eight months pregnent not have people hovering around her?
“Well developed fetus”. How about a baby?
It is nice that they named her.
The jabs are proven to cause pregnancy complications.
Point to the paragraph where it says that Torie Bowie had been vaccinated.
Take all the time that you need.
Yes, agree on giving the poor baby a name. How awful for this woman, sounds like she had a lot of issues, but so terrible to die like that.
Jabs were forced on all of us under threat of losing our jobs. Do you think Tori was out of the country when Joe Biden’s patience was lost?
But in the 21st century it pretty much means a glob of indeterminate tissue. Not
a human person with an immortal soul. Certainly doesn’t mean baby.
Words should be used correctly no matter what the ignorant do.
Weren’t Olympic athletes required to have Covid shots in order to compete a year or two ago? There was a famous cyclist who had complications from his booster that he had to retire.
