WASHINGTON, July 16 : Ivana Trump, the ex-wife of former United States President Donald Trump, died of blunt impact injuries to her torso, New York City’s chief medical examiner said Friday, ruling that her death was accidental.
Manhattan paramedics found the 73-year-old in her Upper East Side apartment while responding to a call for cardiac arrest Thursday. She was declared dead around midday.
The medical examiner’s office didn’t provide details about what led to the fatal injuries, United Press international (UPI) reported, quoting CBS News.
A senior New York City official, though, told NBC News that her death was consistent with a fall down the stairs in her apartment. She was discovered on a spiral staircase inside her residence.
