The New York Police Department said Thursday that “there does not appear to be any criminality” related to her death. According to a statement, police received a 911 call about an “assisted person” at about 12:40 p.m. ET and found a “73-year-old woman unconscious and unresponsive.” The Fire Department of New York said it responded to a report of a person in cardiac arrest at the residence, with the time and location of that response matching the location the NYPD linked to Trump. The fire department reported the victim dead on arrival. EMS, police said, pronounced Trump dead at the scene. Raised in communist Czechoslovakia, Ivana Trump worked with Donald Trump on some of his most significant real estate projects. The two divorced in 1992 in the wake of his tabloid affair with Marla Maples – who later became Donald Trump’s second wife and the mother of their daughter, Tiffany. After the divorce, Ivana Trump married and divorced two more times while maintaining a jet-set, globe-trotting lifestyle. Her children on Thursday paid tribute to her business acumen, humor and passion. Ivanka Trump tweeted that she was “devastated by her mother’s death,” adding: “She lived life to the fullest — never missed an opportunity to laugh and dance. I will miss her forever and will keep her memory alive in our hearts always.” This story has been updated with additional details on Friday.
