Ivana Trump passed away at the age of 73. The cause of death has not yet been determined. Now there is speculation: accident or medical emergency?
Ivana Trump is dead. The ex-wife of former US President Donald Trump (76) died at the age of 73 in New York City. The exact cause of death remains a matter of speculation. Two theories are currently floating around in the US media: accident or heart problems. The fact is: As the “Washington Post” published, the New York City Police Department received an 911 call at 12:40 p.m. Thursday afternoon. An unconscious person was lying on the threshold of a stairway on 64th Street near Central Park in Manhattan.
The helpers, who arrived a little later, should have determined Ivana Trump’s death on site. This was confirmed by two officials who are familiar with the processes. The police opened an investigation immediately afterwards and so far have found no signs of a forced entry into Ivana Trump’s house or any other indication of a crime. The coroner’s office in New York City has now confirmed that the authorities should still determine whether a fall from the stairs may have led to death.
According to media speculation, a medical emergency also seems to be the cause of death. There is talk of both a heart attack and a sudden cardiac arrest. The authorities are expected to make the results of the investigation into Ivana Trump’s cause of death available to the public in the coming days. So far, nothing was known of Ivana Trump’s previous illness.
Who made the 911 call?
There have also been conflicting reports on the question of who dialed the emergency call. The usually well-informed tabloid “TMZ” reported that that one of her employees is said to have found Trump lifeless and immediately alerted the rescue team. Other reports say that Ivana Trump herself was still able to make the emergency call.
Their last hours and their plans for the future
The fact that Ivana Trump was active and fit to the end is proven on the one hand by her immediate plans for the future, but also by the reconstruction of her last hours. Shortly before her death, Trump visited her favorite Upper East Side Italian restaurant, Altesi Ristorante, just a few yards from her apartment. Owner Paola Alavian confirmed this to the US branch of the British newspaper “The Sun”.: “We had a normal conversation like I had every day when I saw her.” You left a health “normal” impression. “Maybe she looked a bit tired but other than that she seemed fine,” Alavian said.
According to further speculation, Ivana Trump wanted to fly on vacation shortly. US media are reporting on a planned stay in the French city of Saint-Tropez on the Côte d’Azur. This has now been confirmed by her best friend, presenter and producer Nikki Haskell, the portal “Page Six”. Accordingly, Ivana would have wanted to start her journey on Friday. Trump traditionally spent a lot of time in southern France.
