Got a text yesterday from a friend who is very devastated over this.

Has it been reported exactly what occurred? She talked for a few last night and thought lack of financial support may have contributed to the death.

In what has made a tragic death even harder to comprehend, gold medalist track star Tori Bowie was pregnant and in labor at the time she died ... TMZ has learned.

According to the coroner's report, obtained by TMZ, 32-year-old Bowie was found dead in bed at her Florida home on May 2. The report states she died from complications of childbirth, was about 8 months pregnant and "undergoing labor" when she passed
 



Black women are at least 2.5 times more likely to die during childbirth than white women.

Torie died.
Serena damn near died.

Those two are/were world-class athletes with some level of access to top-notch healthcare.

Imagine Black women without the access.

The doctors taking care of my wife during the twins’ pregnacy were top-notch.

However, the OBGYN straight up told us C-Section delivery and warned us about gestational diabetes, preeclampsia and blood pressure.

She sat my wife down at that hospital for observation like four or five times due to blood pressure and ran tests.

As I look at my kids now, I do look back and remember how scary it was and can only imagine what other Black women have gone through/are going through.

We. Were. Lucky.
