The staff at her luxurious apartment building discovered her body and placed a call to 911, but she was pronounced dead on the scene. While her official cause of death is currently unknown, first responders believe she likely passed away from cardiac arrest.

Donald, whom Ivana helped build the stack of businesses he would become best known for, took to his social media platform Truth Social to share the information with his followers. “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,” Donald wrote. “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!” (per NBC News). Her children haven’t taken their mother’s passing easily. Recently, her son Eric Trump, who posted a heartbreaking tribute to his mother on Instagram, shared how he was feeling as he left his mother’s home.
