Chairwoman of his campaign, Jenny Chapman, tweeted on Sunday: "My thoughts and prayers are with Keir Starmer and his family.
"Keir's mother-in-law died yesterday following an accident two weeks ago.
"Thank you to everyone for being so kind and supportive and for respecting his family's privacy at this difficult time."
