In a statement, the Trump children remembered their mother as “an incredible woman, a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend.”
“Ivana Trump was a survivor,” they wrote. “She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit, toughness, compassion and determination. She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren.”

Their marriage came to an end in 1992 after reports linked Donald Trump to model and actress Marla Maples, who would become Trump’s second wife. The messy divorce dominated the front pages of the city’s papers, but the pair remained close after the split.
The New York City police are investigating whether Ms. Trump fell down the stairs at her home on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, just off Fifth Avenue near Central Park, according to two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the matter. One of the officials said there was no sign of forced entry at the home and the death appeared to be accidental.
She was 73-years-old.
