A police spokesperson said that Ivana Trump had been found dead on the stairs inside her apartment and that foul play was not suspected.

Her funeral was attended by Donald Trump and his current wife Melania Trump. Ivana and Donald Trump’s children Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were also in attendance.

Ivana was married to Donald Trump from 1977 to 1992. Their marriage was shaken by his high-profile affair with Marla Maples, which became tabloid fodder in the late 1980s.
