According to the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office, Ivana Trump, a businesswoman and the first wife of former President Donald Trump, died after falling downstairs on Friday afternoon.
Blunt force trauma to the 73-year-torso old’s is reported as the official cause of death. Her fall was determined to be accidental.
According to NYPD authorities who spoke to PEOPLE on Thursday, Trump was discovered alone and unresponsive on a stairway at her Upper East Side residence. She was pronounced dead at the site by emergency personnel.
The results of toxicology tests and information on potential causes of the fall have not yet been made public.
Giuliano Zuliani, the proprietor of a nearby eatery that Trump visited, tells PEOPLE that two weeks ago when she went in with a friend, she wasn’t feeling very well.
She didn’t look like she was in great shape. She had trouble walking. She took her food home instead of eating it, although Zuliani notes that she was nonetheless courteous throughout.
Ivana had been planning a summer vacation when she suddenly passed away, according to her best friend Nikki Haskell, who spoke to Page Six.
Tomorrow, she was flying to St. Tropez. She would be traveling for the first time since the pandemic on this trip. On the day of her passing, Haskell remarked, “She was frightened of contracting the virus.
She was my closest pal. I got to know her the night she went out with Donald. I can’t even begin to express how wonderful she was; she was simply a tremendous friend and the most incredible, motivational individual, Haskell continued.
She was described as a “lovely, beautiful, and outstanding woman, who led a fantastic inspirational life” in a post on the former president’s social media platform Truth Social, where he originally made the announcement of her passing.
Ivanka, her 40-year-old daughter, shared a heartfelt tribute to her mother on Instagram with the statement, “Heartbroken by the demise of my mother. Mother was intelligent, endearing, passionate, and hysterically humorous. She set an example for others by acting with strength, persistence, and commitment. She made the most of every opportunity to laugh and dance and embraced life to the fullest.
I will mourn her always and will do my best to keep her memory alive.
Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric are three of the children that Trump had with the previous president, to whom she was married from 1977 to 1992. After their highly publicized divorce, she got married twice more, but she never had any more kids.
In the post announcing her passing, Donald Trump stated that her three children were “her pride and joy.” “She was extremely proud of them, just as we all were of her. Peace be with you, Ivana.
“Our mother was a great woman – a force in business, a world-class athlete, a dazzling beauty, and devoted mother and friend,” said Eric Trump, Ivana’s youngest child, in a post on Instagram with a series of pictures of the Trump family over the years.
