Christopher Bowman, U.S. Figure Skating Champion has died at the age of 40. He was found dead Thursday morning at a hotel in San Fernando Valley, and it is believed that the cause was a drug overdose. "He just passed away in his sleep," Bowman's mother, Joyce, told the Detroit Free Press.
"His friend told me that he was fine. He just went to bed and didn't wake up."
Christopher was known to thrill his fans and because of that his nickname was, 'Bowman the Showman'. I remember watching him skate at different competitions and was always impressed with his grace and style. You could tell that skating came very naturally for him.
"If I had to pick the three most talented skaters of all time, I would pick Christopher as one," Brian Boitano, the 1988 Olympic champion, told the Chicago Tribune. "He had natural charisma, natural athleticism, he could turn on a crowd in a matter of seconds and he always seemed so relaxed about it."
Our hearts and prayers go out to Christopher Bowman's family and close friends at this time.
