Autopsy finds Olympic sprinter Tori Bowie died during childbirth

World champion sprinter and three-time Olympic medalist Tori Bowie was undergoing labor when she died last month at the age of 32, according to her autopsy.

TMZ Sports and USA Today reviewed the medical examiner’s report Monday and first reported the new information.

Bowie was found dead on May 2 in her home in Winter Garden, Fla. County sheriff’s deputies found her when conducting a welfare check.

The autopsy found she had a “well-developed fetus” and died from complications of childbirth, ruled in the report as natural causes.

Bowie won three medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics but declined to compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic trials. Bowie’s agent told the New York Times after her death that she struggled with anxiety and paranoia.

Bowie ran the anchor leg on a 4×100 team with Tianna Bartoletta, Allyson Felix and English Gardner to capture the gold medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. A Mississippi native, Bowie also won the silver medal in the 100 meters and bronze in the 200.

Bowie became a world champion in both the women’s 100 and the 4×100 in London in 2017.
