US Olympic Medalist Tori Bowie Found Dead at Her Florida Home

Police were called to the Florida home of three-time US Olympic medalist Tori Bowie on Tuesday afternoon, and she was found dead inside.

The Orange County Sheriff's Department confirmed to PEOPLE that Bowie was discovered dead at her home on Bowman Drive after police were asked to "conduct a well-being check of a woman in her 30s who had not been seen or heard from in several days."

The police department noted that there were no suspicions of foul play. Bowie, whose full name is Frentorish "Tori" Bowie, was reportedly "found dead" at the property after deputies entered the home.

Although there were "no signs of foul play," police noted that any additional information on the cause of death of the 32-year-old US Olympic sprint medalist will "need to come from" the medical examiner's office.

"We have no additional information to release at this time," the department added.

Bowie's death was announced on Wednesday morning via a social media statement from her management company.

Three-Time US Olympic Medalist Tori Bowie

Born and raised in Sand Hill, Mississippi, Tori Bowie earned two 100-meter, two 200-meter, and three long-jump state titles in high school and three 4x100-meter relay wins.

She had a tremendously successful beginning in her 20s with two NCAA long jump titles in outdoor and indoor track in 2021 while attending Southern Mississippi, Yahoo! Sports reported.

Bowie won all her three Olympic medals in 2016 at the Rio Games in Brazil after she won silver in the 100-meter dash, bronze in the 200-meter dash, and gold as the anchor for the 4x100 relay alongside Allyson Felix, English Gardner, and Tianna Bartoletta.

Bowie also won the 100-meter dash and 4x100 relay in 2017 at the World Athletics Championship. She ran the 100-meter dash and placed third at the 2015 championships in Beijing, China.

The three-time US Olympic medalist also competed in the long jump event at the 2019 World Championships in Qatar and placed fourth overall.

Fellow Athletes Pay Tribute to Tori Bowie

The Daily Mail reported that three-time world champion and American record holder Noah Lyles led the tributes to Tori Bowie online.

He tweeted back at her management company's statement and said: "I can't believe this... I had just heard the word of her going to be with her sister back home, and now this. This breaks my heart, and I will keep the family in my prayers."

Jamaican Olympic gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, one of Bowie's competitors, also paid tribute, saying her heart breaks for Bowie's family.

"A great competitor and source of light. Your energy and smile will always be with me. Rest in peace," he noted.

Olympic javelin thrower Julius Yego of Kenya also expressed his sorrow at Tori Bowie's passing by tweeting, "So devastating and shocking to learn of the passing on of Tori Bowie."

He added that the world of athletics had lost a great sport's champion and patriot. Bowie did not run the 100-meter, 200-meter, or long jump at the 2020 US Olympic team trials.

According to the Runners World, she last raced on June 4, 2020, when she placed fifth in a 200-meter event in Florida. Bowie was an accomplished athlete and a role model off the track.

She previously appeared in a Valentino ad campaign and was included in the Body Issue, an annual edition of ESPN The Magazine.
