Out of all of the three eldest Trump children Donald shared with his now-late ex-wife Ivana, middle kid Eric Trump appears to be taking his mother’s untimely death the hardest.
The day that the news of the 73-year-old Czech-American former model’s death broke, we reported on photos and video footage obtained by The Daily Mail that showed the middle Trump son looking “devastated” as he left his mother’s Manhattan home.
As he left his mother’s Upper East Side home near Central Park on the day of her death, Eric told reporters, “It’s been a very sad day, a very sad day.”
Eric went on to release a statement on behalf of the Trump family:
Our mother was an incredible woman – a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend. Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination. She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren.”

Now, additional reporting is out from The Daily Mail after Eric Trump was again spotted outside his mother’s Manhattan home, four days after her death that has officially been ruled as an accident by the medical examiner, this time with a black plastic bag in tow on his way out.
The Daily Mail reports:
Heartbroken Eric Trump has been seen leaving his mother Ivana’s Upper East Side townhouse with a black plastic bag days after she died following a fall down the stairs.
The 38-year-old has been travelling to his mother’s home regularly since her death on Thursday, ahead of her funeral later this week.
Wearing a blue shirt and black trousers Eric came out of the property, just days after paying tribute to her after the news of her death broke.
It is unclear if the family have removed any sentimental items belonging to Ivana from the property since her death.”
Ivana is set to be memorialized by her family, friends, and loved ones on Wednesday in a “Celebration of Life” at St Vincent Ferrer Catholic Church on Lexington Avenue, a beautifully ornate catholic church that’s just around the corner from her home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
