Christopher Bowman Dies Of Drug Overdose
Christopher Bowman was born March 1967 in Hollywood, California. He was a two-time U.S. national champion and two-time World medalist at the World Figure Skating Championships. He appeared in the TV series “Little House on the Prairie” for one season and was in dozens of TV commercials. Bowman, who coached figure skating at several Detroit area clubs, moved back to California in February 2007. Bowman and his ex-wife, Annette Bowman, have a daughter.
Bowman was pronounced dead at 12:06 p.m., said Coroner’s Lt. Joe Bale, who wasn’t immediately able to provide more details about the possible drug overdose. Bowman’s body was found at a motel in the North Hills section of Los Angeles, and an autopsy was planned for this weekend, Bale said.
Bowman was indeed troubled. He admitted to having a cocaine habit during his career, and he checked into the Betty Ford Center before the 1988 Olympic Games. Recently he had returned to acting and had a role as an assistant coach in the upcoming movie “Down and Distance” .
