According to the sources, officers went to her Bowman Drive house on Tuesday, May 2, 2023 in the afternoon to conduct a well-being check of a woman in her 30s who had not been seen or heard from in several days.
Bowie, real name Frentorish ‘Tori’ Bowie was located and identified by deputies after they had entered the house. According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department’s statement, Bowie had been “found deἀd” inside. There were no signs of f0ul play, but the main cause of deἀth is unknown yet.
But any additional details regarding the manner of Bowie’s pἀssing “need to come from” the medical examiner’s office. Bowie, who was raised in Sandhill, Mississippi was persuaded to join the track as a youngster and swiftly advanced as a sprinter and long jumper.
She was a student at Southern Mississippi and in 2011 she won both the indoor and outdoor long jump NCAA championships.
At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Bowie put on an electrifying performance, taking home silver in the 100 and bronze in the 200. She later won the 4×100 relay race as the anchor leg runner alongside Tianna Bartoletta, Allyson Felix and English Gardner.
When Bowie was a baby, her grandma adopted her after being abandoned at a foster home. She regarded herself as a basketball player and only unwillingly turned up for track, but Bowie was a quick study who, before entering college won state championships in the 100, 200 and long jump.
2015’s Worlds bronze medal in the 100-meter event marked her first significant international medal. She remarked after winning “My entire life, my grandmother told me I could do whatever I set my mind to.”
