The death of American Tori Bowie, triple Olympic champion in Rio de Janeiro 2016, was a blow to the world of athletics. And in the midst of the investigation to determine the causes of her death, the Daily Mail newspaper revealed a touching detail: the 32-year-old sprinter was "seven or eight months pregnant".
That Britishmedia said it contacted friends and neighbors of Bowie, who confirmed that the athlete was in an advanced state of gestation and that she had an extensive history of erratic and problematic behavior.
"She was a thin woman and looked like she was carrying half a basketball under her shirt," said one of the neighbors consulted by that newspaper.
A 52-year-old woman who lived in a house near the athlete's in Winter Garden, an upscale suburb of Orlando, said: "I once left the house and saw her standing in the street, wielding a knife and yelling at a man. A family friend managed to talk to her and calm her down, but I was scared and my daughters felt uncomfortable."
Others said Bowie had once thrown eggs at the house across the street from his. That they used to hear screams and loud music coming out of their house until late at night. And that often, the doors and windows were left ajar.
The Daily Mail, in addition, said it had access to court documents stating that the sprinter had been about to lose her house, valued at $ 500,22, because she owed more than 000,<> to the community of owners.
The body of Bowie, who according to some sources suffered from severe depression, was found early last week in his Florida apartment, when sheriff's deputies from that state went on Tuesday to "check on the well-being of a woman in her 30s who had not been seen or heard from for several days."
