Police Investigating Incident That May Have Led To Death Of Ivana Trump: Report

Ivana Trump, former President Donald Trump’s ex-wife, died Thursday at the age of 73.

Law enforcement officials are reportedly investigating whether she tragically passed away after falling down the stairs of her home in New York City.

The Associated Press reported that law enforcement officials are looking into whether Ivana fell down the stairs because she was found unconscious near the bottom of the staircase in her home.

Officials believe that her death was an accident.

A spokesperson for the New York City Police Department told Fox News that police responded to a 911 call on Thursday and found the 73-year-old unconscious.

“On Thursday, July 14, 2022, at approximately 1240 hours, police responded to a 911 call of an aided individual at 10 East 64 Street , within the confines of the 19 Precinct. Upon arrival, officers observed a 73-year-old female unconscious and unresponsive. EMS responded to the location and pronounced the victim deceased at the scene,” the spokesperson said.

Fox News reported:

An NYPD spokesperson told Fox News Digital there is no criminality suspected and police are staging outside her Upper East Side home for security purposes. A spokesperson for the NYPD also told Fox News that Trump was found unconscious “in close proximity” to the bottom of a staircase in her apartment.

The New York City Fire Department responded to a report of a cardiac arrest at Trump’s residence on Thursday afternoon, a source told Fox News. A law enforcement source told Fox News that someone at Trump’s residence called police to ask for a wellness check because he hadn’t seen her in a while. When authorities arrived, they opened her door and found her at the bottom of the stairs, but it’s unclear whether she fell.

“It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Ivana Trump,” Trump’s children said in a statement. “Our mother was an incredible woman — a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and a caring mother and friend. Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children grit and toughness, compassion, and determination. She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children, and ten grandchildren.”

Donald Trump took to Truth Social to share a statement about Ivana’s tragic death.

“I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City. She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life,” he said. “Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!”

Ivana Trump married Donald Trump in 1977 and the couple got divorced in 1992. Ivana is the mother of his three oldest children, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump.

Many took to social media to pay their condolences.
