Maggie Steffen’s family is mourning a devastating loss.

The Olympic U.S. Water Polo team captain’s sister-in-law Lulu Conner died July 23 after traveling to Paris for the Games, Maggie confirmed to the Associated Press. Lulu was 26.

According to the outlet, Maggie—who married Lulu’s brother Bobby Conner in November—shared that she and her family are still determining exactly what happened, but that she described the situation as “a medical emergency.”

“She was so excited for the Olympic Games,” Maggie told the AP of Lulu. “We’re really close. She’s the light of the world. She just brings so much joy to everyone. She always brings people together.”

E! News has reached out to Maggie’s rep and the U.S. women’s water polo team for comment but has not yet heard back.

For Maggie, who is participating in her fourth Olympics at Paris and is aiming to bring home a fourth Gold medal, she said that refocusing her energy into the Games has been a comfort in the wake of the tragedy.
