The Tori Bowie cause of death story just became that much more tragic after TMZ revealed the real reason the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team gold medalist died at the young age of 32.

Bowie was found dead in her bed on May 2 at her home in Florida. Police went to check on the 2016 Olympic sprinter after her concerned family reported they hadn’t heard from her in several days.

A year later, at the 2017 World Championships in London, Bowie won the Women’s 100-meter event, earning her the (unofficial) title of “Fastest Woman in the World.”

After the revelation that Tori Bowie’s death involved complications of childbirth, BET tweeted a stark reminder that “Black women die at exceedingly higher rates due to pregnancy-related complications,” and that “there is so much work to be done to properly protect and advocate for Black women's health.”
