Ivana Trump died of accidental injuries, New York City forensics authorities said Friday.
Ivana Trump, the former US president’s first wife who died on Thursday, succumbed to “impact injuries to her chest”, New York forensics authorities said on Friday.
His death was accidental, they said in a statement, without specifying the circumstances. Donald Trump announced Thursday that Ivana Trump, 73, had died “at her home in New York”. He had praised the “formidable” life of this former cross-country skier and model of Czech origin, who was his wife from 1977 to 1992.
The couple had three children, Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric. In a statement to AFP, New York police said they went to Ivana Trump’s apartment after calling the 911 emergency number and finding her “unconscious and unresponsive”.

His death did not appear to be “of criminal origin”, had already indicated the police. According to the New York Times, the police were looking to verify if Ivana Trump had fallen down the stairs of her home, located in an upscale neighborhood of Manhattan.
In October 2017, a few months after Donald Trump’s installation in the White House, Ivana Trump published “Raising Trump” (Raise the Trumps), a book in which she said she taught her children “the value of money, to do not lie, cheat or steal, respect for others”
