Toni Braxton’s niece dies aged 24 'in relation to heart condition'

Lauren’s aunt Toni, 51, has battled her own health issues over the years.

The Unbreak My Heart singer has been diagnosed with microvascular angina and, in 2010, revealed she also battles with the auto-immune disease lupus.

In 2012, Toni underwent ‘minor health issues’ related to the disease and documented her ordeal on the reality show.

Michael is also said to be a carrier of lupus.
