LAthlete Tori Bowie, triple Olympic medalist in Rio 2016, was found dead in her Winter Garden home in Florida on May 2.
The authorities found the body of the American athlete after attending a control visit after not hearing from her in several days.
‘Sports Illustrated’ reports that an autopsy report from the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office estimated that Bowie, who was eight months pregnant, died of natural causes while going into labor at home.
‘TMZ’, which had access to the forensic report, publishes that Tori Bowie began to give birth, lay in bed and died suffering from eclampsia
‘USA TODAY’ reported that Bowie possibly experienced respiratory distress and eclampsia, which occurs when a sudden increase in high blood pressure during pregnancy causes a person to have seizures.
“Eclampsia usually occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy. It is rare and affects less than 3% of people with preeclampsia. Eclampsia can cause complications during pregnancy and requires emergency medical attention,” they explain from the Cleveland Clinic.
