'There were no airs about her': Ivana Trump’s neighbor 'shocked' by matriarch's accidental death
Update: Ivana Trump, 73, was found unconscious at the bottom of the stairs of her Upper East Side townhouse on Thursday, July 14. At the time, the cause of death was not determined. Now, a medical examiner has determined that Donald Trump's ex-wife died of blunt impact injuries to the torso as a result of the fall and her death has been ruled an accident.

Ivana Trump’s neighbors are mourning the sudden death of the Manhattan socialite and businesswoman. Ivana's longtime neighbor, who saw the Trump matriarch just a few weeks ago, told The Sun that the 73-year-old's passing inside her Manhattan home was ‘a shock.’ Judy Abrams, who has lived next door to Ivana for 35 years, recalled how Ivana ‘looked terrific’ the last time she saw her, about five or six weeks ago.
She told The Sun, "There were no airs about her. She was always very friendly.” The Trump matriarch appeared to be ‘well put together,’ she recounted, adding that she was ‘moved about how pleasant and warm she was.’ Abrams said, “When I heard that she died, that was a shock. But when I heard that she died of a heart issue, I don’t know how she didn’t do that long ago given everything she's reading and hearing on the news.” Abrams claimed that she had seen Ivana's children, though she didn't know them personally. Calling her neighbor's death ‘very sad,’ Abrams said, “If I were a mother and saw what my kids might be facing, and even my ex-husband, I would’ve had a heart attack long ago. As a mother, I don't know what I'd do." Regardless of the fact that Abrams described her meetings with Ivana as ‘very casual’ over the years, there was one particular experience that she remembered that stood out.
