A New York police spokesperson said she was found dead on the stairs inside her apartment but added that the incident was not under suspicious circumstances.
Altesi Restaurant's owner Paola Alavian told the Sun that he knew her really well well and saw her almost daily.
He said the last time he saw her her health seemed normal and she seemed a bit tired but apart from that, she was "okay" in her appearance to him.
Alavian said he couldn't remember what Ivana ordered but said it was a "very, very small amount of food."
The restaurant boss also said he was in a deep state of shock.
Unnamed law enforcement officials have confirmed that Ms Trump’s death appeared accidental and she may have fallen down the stairs, the New York Times Reports.
It's not been confirmed but it is believed the mum-of-three died from a heart attack.
However, the Fire Department of New York said paramedics responded to a call to her apartment for a cardiac arrest.
“Our mother was an incredible woman — a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend,” a statement from the Trump family read.
It continued: “Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination.”
Born Ivana Marie Zelníčkováin in former Czechoslovakia, Ivana lived under communist rule before moving to Canada in the 1970s, where she briefly worked as a model.
