Sharing Tori’s picture on Instagram, the photographer said, “We are deeply saddened to learn the cause of death of Olympic medalist and world champion sprinter, Tori Bowie.

“Black women die at exceedingly higher rates due to pregnancy-related complications. We face a much higher risk of maternal death due to various reasons including chronic stress and implicit bias from health care providers.”

He further said, “There is so much work to be done to properly protect and advocate for Black women's health. We send continued love and condolences to Tori Bowie's family.”
