An autopsy has revealed Olympic track star Tori Bowie was eight months pregnant and in labor when she died just over a month ago. She was alone in her home at the time and may have suffered from respiratory distress and eclampsia, a rare but life-threatening pregnancy complication. Her baby also died. Tori Bowie, a three-time Olympic medalist, was just 32. Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy and childbirth complications than white women. Her Olympic teammate Tianna Tashelle Bartoletta posted on Twitter, “As of June 2023…3 of the 4 members of Team USA’s 4×100m relay team…who ran the SECOND fastest time in history, and brought home THEE gold medal…have nearly died or did die in childbirth. We deserve better. #BlackMaternalHealthCrisis.”
