An autopsy revealed that Olympic gold medalist Frentorish “Tori” Bowie died from childbirth complications, USA Today reports. Her death was ruled natural, officials said.

According to a report from the Orange County Medical Examiner Office in Florida, Bowie had a "well-developed fetus," and was approximately 8 months pregnant and undergoing labor at the time of her death in May. The report also disclosed that Bowie could have experienced other complications including eclampsia which is “when a person develops seizures after a sudden spike in high blood pressure during pregnancy” and respiratory distress.

"Eclampsia typically occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy. It’s rare and affects less than 3% of people with preeclampsia. Eclampsia can cause complications during pregnancy and requires emergency medical care,” the Cleveland Clinic states.

Bowie’s sudden death sent shockwaves throughout the Olympic and Track and Field communities.

“We’ve lost a client, dear friend, daughter, and sister,” her company, Icon Management, tweeted. “Tori was a champion…a beacon of light that shined so bright! We’re truly heartbroken and our prayers are with the family and friends.”

"USATF is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Tori Bowie, a three-time Olympic medalist and two-time world champion," USA Track and Field also tweeted at the time of her passing. "Her impact on the sport is immeasurable, and she will be greatly missed."

In her remarkable career, Bowie won a gold medal as a member of the 4×100 m relay team at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro as the anchor leg. She also won the silver medal in the 100-meter dash and the bronze medal in the 200-meter dash.

She captured a gold medal at the World Athletics Championships in London, she won a gold medal in a close race by edging out Marie-Josée Ta of the Ivory Coast by a hundredth of a second.

Bowie’s last race was in June 2022.

English Gardner, another one of Bowie’s teammates, expressed her admiration for the late sprinter when news of her passing became public.

“I wish you could feel how much respect I have for Tori Bowie,” Gardner said. “I wish you could feel how amazing of a competitor she was.”
