Ivana Trump, the first wife of former President Donald Trump and the mother of her eldest children, accidentally died of blunt force injuries to the torso, the New York medical examiner's office said Friday.
Police had been investigating whether she fell down the stairs, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity because they could not discuss the matter publicly.
The brief medical examiner's report does not specify when the accident took place. Donald Trump announced Thursday that Ivana died at her home near Central Park on Manhattan's Upper East Side. She was 73 years old.
Ivana Trump, ski racer and businesswoman of Czech origin, was born in 1949. Her maiden name was Ivana Zelnickova.
She was married to the former president from 1977 to 1992, and they had three children together: Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric.
