The cause of death has not been officially released, but the New York jet-setter was found unconscious and unresponsive at the bottom of a staircase in her New York City townhouse, hours before her hair appointment.

In October 2017, a few months after the installation of Donald Trump in the White House, Ivana Trump had published Raising Trump (Raising Trump), a book in which she told of having taught her children the value of money, not to lie, cheat or steal, respect for others.
After Ivana, Donald Trump married the actress Marla Maples with whom he had a second daughter, Tiffany. He has been married since 2005 to Melania Trump, mother of Barron, 16 years.
It's a very sad day, a very sad day, said Eric Trump, Donald and Ivana's son, as he left his mother's home on the Upper East Side near Central Park.
Ivana was preparing for a trip to Saint-Tropez that she was looking forward to. Since the beginning of the pandemic, she had not traveled for fear of catching Covid.

She lived her life to the fullest, never missing an opportunity to laugh and dance, she added. I will miss her forever and will always keep her memory alive in our hearts.
