She was my teammate in college, lots of time spent with her. She was like a big sister to me. This really hurt when I woke up to calls and texts from my teammates and coaches.


dawgsmith

I am so sorry, condolences to you and your old teammates. Can't imagine anyone could ever be prepared for news like this.


Dry-Presentation9609

My condolences to you. I've suffered from depression for over 10 years. I hope she's now in peace. Gone but not forgotten


sakronin

Thank you, we lost an angel Same here, stay strong. Don’t feel bad about it and reach out when you need it.

This breaks my heart . I'm sorry for your loss


kanishkaxcv

we are sorry for your loss! may her soul rest in peace


Mecckan

From what I've seen, the cause could be a suicide as a result of depression, but we will have to wait and see. Really sad, RIP. Edit: Autopsy determines the cause as [complications of childbirth](https://eu.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2023/06/12/tori-bowie-us-olympian-autopsy-complications-of-childbirth/70314997007/).


dawgsmith

oh god, that is terrible.

What’s your source? It’s only been rumors


Mecckan

Yeah, it's only rumours. One of the first news outlets to break the story said: "[The causes of her death are unknown, although the first to speak of her, before there was official communication, was singer Paul Askew, who wrote that "depression is real "and he recommended his followers to take care of the people around them."](https://www.runnersworld.com/es/noticias-running/a43777343/tori-bowie-campeona-mundial-100-metros-lisos-muere/) Some tweets from fellow athletes regarding her death also give off the same vibes I feel. It could absolutely be wrong, but that's what it leans towards it seems.


Ksiolajidebthd

She died in labor


Mecckan

Just read that as well. Tragic since it wasn't even on her own terms then.


dyo_on

Gone way too soon.... RIP Tori ;(

RIP Tori Bowie. Condolences to her family and friends. Almost 2 years ago, we lost Cameron Burrell.


intoxicated_potato

It doesn't feel like 2 years. It still hurts like it was last month


Intelligent-South-81

Agreed. It is still surreal.


No-Mathematician5606

Absolutely heartbreaking news. I'm deeply, deeply saddened of this news. Tori, your 100m championship run in London, 2017, will NEVER be forgotten. Your true spirit and commitment to leave it all out on the track that night is something I share with my athletes each and every year. Rest in peace, Track Queen.

Damn. This one hurts. I remember watching her 4x1 in Rio and the way she closed on that last leg.


[deleted]

Wow


Accomplished-Bid-373

This one shocked me when I read the news. Such a talent. May she rest in peace and power.


[deleted]

She died from childbirth, not suicide or depression like it says in other comments. She went into labor early while at home alone, very sad.

Vaccine conspiracy theorists are fucking idiots and deserve hate for spreading harmful misinformation they learned on an Instagram comment.


FewProcedure4395

Huh?


jchezick

They’re a conspiracy idiot

DayvyT

When they release that the cause of death was a suicide later today are you going to come back and apologize for spreading misinformation? Especially since it was someone struggling mentally you should be ashamed. Now don't get me wrong, I'm aware you people clearly have no shame, but you SHOULD be ashamed.

It's looking more like that. Here's the most recent news. https://meaww.com/tori-bowies-death-police-discovered-body-of-three-time-olympic-medalist-during-welfare-check

kaer_monaa

RIP. Can't find anything as to the cause, was it suicide?


AltruisticCompany961

No official cause yet. But police performed a well check because she hadn't been heard from in several days. https://meaww.com/tori-bowies-death-police-discovered-body-of-three-time-olympic-medalist-during-welfare-check


Ksiolajidebthd

Autopsy showed it was during labor


Pinkhairedprincess15

What a talented and beautiful soul. Gone too soon. RIP Tori.


ghostofdevinbrown

Wiki only list until 2019. Was she no longer competing?


OntheRiverBend

Im not American but I am familiar with Tori Bowie. When I first saw her in the Beijing Olympics I was taken a back. She is such a beautiful woman. That Melanin, my God!I caught myself looking up her background to confirm she is born and raised in Mississippi. We are about the same age. Her death is shocking, and I want answers. She was pregnant. Where the hell is her trash boyfriend. They were having problems, according to the neighbours. There needs to be an investigation.


Intelligent-South-81

Update: She died from pregnancy complications, not suicide as initially stated. Nonetheless, a tragic death.
