Toni Braxton‘s niece has died in Maryland.

R&B singer’s niece, Lauren Braxton, passed away on Monday at the age of 24. The daughter of Toni’s younger brother, Michael Conrad, Jr., reportedly had a heart condition that contributed to her death.

The outlet cites local law enforcement sources in Maryland who said that an urgent 911 call was placed on Monday, but she was found unresponsive when paramedics arrived on the scene, where she was pronounced dead soon thereafter.

Per TMZ:

Law enforcement reported that they received a 911 call around noon on Monday, and Lauren — who went by the nickname LoLo — was unresponsive when they arrived. She was pronounced dead by paramedics.

Michael — who is a Maryland native — is the only son of the Braxton siblings. He and Toni are the elder siblings to Traci, Towanda, Trina and Tamar. Like most of his sisters, Michael is also a singer and songwriter and he’s appeared on episodes of his sisters’ reality show “Braxton Family Values.”

Michael started singing with his sisters in church choirs when they were young.

His daughter Lauren was 24.

Tony and her dad had a close relationship as evidenced by the 24-year-old’s posts about him on Instagram. In a few birthday posts, Lauren shares that her father is her “whole world.”

“Happpppppy Birthday to my whole world ‼️I love you so much Dad ❤️,” she wrote with a montage of photos of her dad holding her as a baby.

“Let me take this time to say Happppy Birthday to the best man in the world, my fova I love you so much ,” she wrote in another post with dad.

Our thoughts go out to the Braxton family at this difficult time.
