Toni Braxton niece has died of a drug overdose

Toni Braxton’s 24-year-old niece died of a heroin overdose and fentanyl intoxication, autopsy results have revealed.

Lauren Braxton, the daughter of the singer’s brother Michael Conrad Braxton, Jr., passed away on 29 April. It was initially reported that her tragic passing was linked to a heart condition.

But an autopsy completed by the medical examiner’s office in Maryland has now shown that drugs were to blame for Lauren’s death.

Following Lauren’s passing, Toni took to Instagram to share a snap of herself with her late niece, writing: “R.I.P to my amazing niece Lauren ‘Lo Lo’ Braxton…I’m still in disbelief and so very heartbroken. Love you…always auntie ‘Te Te’.”

Toni’s sister Tamar also opened up about Lauren’s death in a post on Instagram Live, revealing she was feeling too “drained” to attend her funeral – a decision which drew ire from many of her fans.

“Get..your ass up and go to the funeral for 2 hours then get back in your bed. I’m not hearing this excuse,” one angrily responded.

In 2004, The Libertines toured Australia for the first time, without Pete Doherty, due to his drug addictions. When the rest of the band toured Japan, feeling betrayed he burgled Carl Barat’s flat and was jailed for six months. Since then, Doherty has toured with the band notably in 2018, where they also played the Forum and, on this sold-out show, clearly devoid of drugs and shenanigans of the past, the two albeit more mature founding members Doherty and Barat have well and truly buried the hatchet.
