The Braxton Sisters’ Niece Dies At 24
There’s sad news for the Braxton family.
The daughter of the Braxton sisters’ only brother, Michael Braxton Jr., died on Monday (Apr. 29), according to TMZ.
Lauren Braxton passed due to complications from a heart condition, according to her father Michael.
Police told TMZ that they received a 911 call around noon yesterday. When paramedics arrived, Lauren was unresponsive, and they pronounced her dead.
Trina Braxton took to Instagram to share a message about her niece. “God sent me another angel! Rest in Heaven Lauren “LoLo” Braxton,” Trina wrote.
Lauren seemed to be pretty close with her aunt, Traci Braxton. She often shared photos and videos of the two together on Instagram. She also referred to Traci as her mom.
“Happy Birthday Ma! I love you so much,” Lauren wrote in the caption of a Happy Birthday post to Traci on Instagram, earlier this month.
