Ivana Trump Found Dead In NYC After Suffering Cardiac Arrest

Ivana Trump, the first wife of former United States President Donald Trump, passed away at the age of 73.

The Trump family released a statement to ABC News, saying:

“It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Ivana Trump. Our mother was an incredible woman — a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and a caring mother and friend. Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children grit and toughness, compassion, and determination.”

WABC-TV in New York reported that police responded to a call at her Upper East Side apartment at shortly before 1 PM ET. At this time, they believe that she passed away from cardiac arrest brought on by natural causes; however, her official cause of death has yet to be confirmed.

Political analyst Camryn Kinsey shared a screenshot from Trump's Truth Social application to Twitter, since he has been banned from the social media 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,” the former president 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!”

Businesswoman Ivana Trump was married to Alfred Winklmayr from 1971 to 1973. She then married Donald Trump in 1977, but they divorced in 1992. In 1995, she married Riccardo Mazzucchelli, but they divorced in 1997. She then married Rossano Rubicondi in 2008, but they divorced in 2009.

The Czech-American immigrant had been born on February 20, 1949 and had three children: Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump.

Congressmen Byron Donalds tweeted, "Erika and I extend our deepest condolences to the Trump Family during this devastating time. Ivana Trump led an extraordinary and dignified life, and her legacy will forever live on through her three kids, @DonaldJTrumpJr, @EricTrump, and @IvankaTrump. May she Rest In Peace."

Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany also sent the Trump family her condolences, tweeting, "My family and I send all of our love and prayers to President Trump @IvankaTrump@DonaldJTrumpJr@EricTrump and the entire Trump family for the loss of Ivana Trump. Thinking of you all during this very difficult time."
