Former Team USA track star Tori Bowie was found dead inside her home, TMZ Sports has learned … after her loved ones told cops they were concerned they hadn’t heard from her in several days.
According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Florida, officers conducted a well-being check at Bowie’s home Tuesday afternoon. When authorities arrived at the residence, they made entry … and found the three-time Olympic medalist deceased. A preliminary investigation showed no foul play was involved.
A cause and manner of death are not yet known — the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office tells us they’re still investigating the matter.
Bowie’s management team said Wednesday they were crushed to learn of her passing.
“We’ve lost a client, dear friend, daughter and sister,” the agency said. “Tori was a champion … a beacon of light that shined so bright! We’re truly heartbroken and our prayers are with the family and friends.”
Bowie — a two-time NCAA long jump champion who won three medals at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil — was just 32 years old.
RIP
