On that fateful Thursday, Trump was found unconscious on the landing of her Upper East Side home. The rescuers at the scene were the first to ascertain her death.
The owner of a local restaurant named Giuliano Zuliani recalls what the famous visitor was like shortly before her death: “She did not seem to be in the best shape. She could barely walk. She didn’t eat her food, but took it home with her,” the woman says, noting that even in this case, she always remained polite.
And best friend Nikki Haskell assures her that she had everything ahead because Ivana was preparing for her summer vacation. “She was my best friend. I met her the night she met Donald… I can’t even begin to describe how amazing she was, just a wonderful friend and the most amazing, inspiring person,” added Haskell.
