NEW YORK, July 16, 2022 (AFP) – Former US President Donald Trump’s first wife, Ivana Trump, died Thursday of “blow injuries to the torso”, New York forensics officials said on Friday.

According to the forensic medicine statement, the death was accidental, although the circumstances were not specified.

Donald Trump announced on Thursday that Ivana, 73, died “at his home in New York.”

The former White House tenant recalled the “terrible” life of this former model and skier of Czech descent, 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 the 911 emergency number was called and found the woman “unconscious and unresponsive”.

Agents said his death did not appear to be “criminal”.

According to The New York Times, police were checking to see if Ivana Trump had fallen from the stairs of her home in an upscale Manhattan neighborhood.

In October 2017, months after Trump’s arrival in the White House, Ivana Trump taught her children “value for money, not lying, not cheating, not stealing, and respecting too much”.

After Ivana, Donald Trump married actress Marla Maples, with whom he has a daughter, Tiffany. And in 2005, 16-year-old Barron’s mother married Melania Trump.
