NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Ivana Trump, an ex-wife of Donald Trump, died Thursday after she fell down the stairs in her Upper East Side apartment, with the city's Medical Examiner ruling her death an accident.
The office said Trump died of blunt impact injuries to her torso and her death was ruled an accident.
She was 73.
"It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Ivana Trump," the Trump family said in a statement on Thursday announcing her death. "Our mother was an incredible woman -- a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend. Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination. She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren."
The NYPD responded to a call of a person in cardiac arrest on the Upper East Side at 12:40 p.m., where they discovered her body, according to WABC-TV.
Sources told the station that she was found unconscious and unresponsive at the bottom of a set of stairs.
Donald Trump, who married Ivana in 1977 and divorced in 1992, said in a statement on his Truth social platform, "I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City. She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life. Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!"
