Olympic gold medalist Tori Bowie, who was found dead in her Florida home on May 2, died from complications related to childbirth, according to the medical examiner’s report obtained by Fox News Digital.
She was estimated to be around eight months pregnant and actively in labor at the time of her death.
Bowie, 32, was found dead in a Florida residence last month after the Orange County Sheriff’s Office responded to "well-being check of a woman in her 30s who had not been seen or heard from in several days."
