Tori Bowie, American track star and three-time Olympic medalist, has died, officials said Wednesday. She was 32.
Icon Management, Inc., the agency that represented Bowie, initially announced the news in a tweet. Sports officials have since acknowledged Bowie's death as well.
"We're devastated to share the very sad news that Tori Bowie has passed away," the agency said. "We've lost a client, dear friend, daughter and sister. 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."
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday night while coming in for a landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington. The Black Hawk helicopter was carrying a crew of three. Officials said early Thursday that everyone on board both aircraft is believed dead, which would make it the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly a quarter century.
