U.S. Olympic Star Grieving After Young Relative’s Sudden Death in Paris
U.S. women’s water polo captain Maggie Steffens was reportedly seen throwing a bouquet of flowers into the Seine during the Paris Olympic opening ceremony in an apparent tribute to her sister-in-law.
Lulu Conner, whose brother Bobby married Steffens last November, had traveled to Paris to cheer Steffens on as she tries to lead her team to a fourth straight Olympic gold.
But the 26-year-old artist died on Tuesday after what was described as a “medical emergency,” leaving the family bereft.
