I don't care how much of a former athlete a person is- a fall like that can be deadly for a senior person-my grandmother was still climbing ladders to pick pears in her 80's-but then she fell off of the ladder, broke her collar bone and arm then went totally down hill physically & mentally and died within a couple of months-I know of quite a few elders who passed from similar things-RIP lovely Ivana

[@grayhatjen5924]

I'm almost wondering if being a former athlete could have exacerbated her mobility issues in general. I mean being a skier, I'd imagine hips and knees would have the biggest potential for problems later in life. But you're right, falls are absolutely deadly especially in a person's older years. My grandma broke either her hip or leg the night before one of my sister's got married, and like your grandma, she never recovered. It was so hard to watch. I was 10, I think? She came to live with us in the hopes that she would recover but she didn't. And we had to end up doing the whole nursing home thing. It all hurt, a whole lot. I often wonder if we go too far with medicine etc late in life. My other grandmother lived to be 91 but the last decade of her life was filled with so much pain. In Ivana's case though, she was so young. RIP indeed

[@heatherking8689]

yes ma'am my 79 year old grandmother was a retired teacher but went to work everyday of the school year helping out and she got in her car one evening and her gas peddle stuck and raed into the side of the school and it didn't do nothing but cut her head and she was still walking but slower her down so much within a few months she was totally not able to walk and her legs would weep of fuild puddle under her feet they had to be wrapped and she was dead within a year...so yes one small booboo can take a elderly person out . my grandmother was on the go till that day..I'm sorry to hear you have been through that also...oh but also while in the hospital they dropped her and broke her back also ...they tried to hide it and blamed her but come to find out nope it wasn't her fault at all all theirs..

Greetings from Canada. I always liked Ivana. Very hard worker, dedicated smart mother, and talented jewelry designer. People underestimate the peril of stairs for older people. Poor vision, iffy balance, osteoporosis, often can mean a fall is the beginning of the end for elders, resulting in a broken hip and pneumonia. So sorry this happened.

A fall is definitely a warning shot for seniors and unfortunately in Ivana's case, can be fatal. But there are always opportunities to heal and experience a long and healthy life for seniors before and after a fall. It all depends on a person's well being (physically, mentally, spiritually) and the type of care and support they receive. I have seen it. Be well and be at peace.

[@annwithaplan9766]

Sometimes, it isn't the fall that's a result of a broken hip. Someone with osteoporosis can break a hip, which causes a fall. Many don't don't see it coming until it's too late.

So sad! I work in healthcare and speak about this issue regularly. Every 11 seconds, someone falls and has to undergo emergent care. It does not matter if a person WAS a former athlete. Balance is something we have to work at as we age. There are many contributors to falls - some of which are weak abdominal's, weak legs. weak ankles, medications that make you dizzy and vestibular problems. People can go to a physical therapist and get a balance test to see if they are at risk. Prayers for the family. So sorry for your loss.

[@MedusasFeelinSalty]

I'm 57 and after my 2nd bout with covid, my balance went all out of whack. I'm currently in vestibular therapy for it, getting the crystals in my inner ears rearranged. It's no joke I'd be standing there and just fall over! Had some very nasty falls until my doctor finally realized over a year later that this was not going away and referred me to therapy. I'm not saying that's what happened to Ivana, but if your balance is messed up its super easy for something unfortunate like this to happen. I feel so bad for her children and grandchildren and this sudden loss!

[@donnalovintexas8760]

I am a retired nurse. I worked nights on the 9th floor in the hospital. I would ride the elevator up or down on one leg to keep my balance good. I no longer ride an elevator but I continue to stand on one leg (alternating) moving my leg in front and behind me to keep working on my balance. Exercise for Balance is very important. Also not living in a two story house as we get older is important.

She was 73, lived a life of luxury and kept men who were much younger. When asked about why younger men she said....'I'd rather be a baby sitter than a nurse maid'!! She had a 'life and lived it on her terms. RIP Ivana Edit: From my post above, quoting Ivana, to a light hearted reply of ' I wonder where her soul is right now' from Shelly Moore to a full on Louisa Edike's comment 'you should be more worried about where yours will go'. In my opinion, there was no need for Louisa's comment. I read her comment as overly righteous, patronising and a mere projection due to her using the words 'YOU should be' rather than 'WE should be' and comments thereafter just solidified my opinion that much more. I believe in live n let live, but don't agree with people who try to overly stuff their beliefs down people's throats or chastise them for not living or believing the same as themselves, and usually engaging this behaviour while being & living the exact opposite of what they're trying to preach. That, to me, is the hypocrisy that is plaguing the earth in these times, and whether I believe in heaven or hell, God or Satan, it's traits like this that are the ugliest by far, of a fellow human being. And that is all I have to say on the topic. Thank you for your time and have a lovely day or night.

Sadly, this outcome is my biggest fear and has been since I turned 60 a couple of years ago. It started with a fall down my stairs too! I went down on my hip and back. Luckily I had hold of the banister. Pulled my arm out of the socket. Lucky once again, my youngest son (at the time 24) was home and came running. He put my arm back and I didn't break anything but I was black, blue, yellow, purple and very sore. My son said to me. Mom, when driving you say. Don't speed unless your in a hurry to die. I'm not. Mom, please don't rush to do something for anyone! We are not in rush for you to die! It has become a mantra now. Not worth the rush!

What a grand lady she was and the epitome of the “mom-extraordinaire.” She claimed the success of her children growing up into the highly functioning people they are today and capable of working alongside their driven father.

I did home care giving for around 10 years in total so far through my life. It can be really difficult to convince the aging people in your life, that you love and care for, to take precautions for accidents like this, to slow down, to accept help when they're use to being independent. I imagine Ivana was probably no different, especially having been an Olympic athlete. It can be really hard for someone who did as extreme a sport as downhill skiing that the stairs in their home are a concern you have for them. Very sad. I've seen this happen to often. Or even aging persons driving longer than they should have. It can be a really difficult conversation to have, but it's SOOOOO important. There are resources available online and in your local DSHS (Department Social Health Services- for Aging and Long Term Care support, or whatever it's equal is near you). I can't stress the importance enough, it really CAN BE life or death. Rip Ivana edit***! Please note I'm not saying ALL aging persons are in need of this. But when signs begin presenting themselves, it's good to have a plan of action for open and honest conversation. Because we love our friends/family members/mentors etc. And we'd like for them to remain living & safe as long as possible. When they start having falls repeatedly from rugs, stairs, etc that never gave trouble before. Or backing up into things in their cars and not thinking that it's a big deal when it's unlike them, that's a problem. There are usually other warning signs too. I have an 80 year old great aunt who is still 100% capable and independent of using stairs and driving. She even wins car shows with her awesome Cougar car collection !

It is very, very painful to use stairs with a bad hip. From photos they look like they're marble. They are spiral in places where each step is cut at an angle making them extremely narrow toward the wall. If she was carrying a cup of coffee she was probably paying more attention to not spilling the coffee than where she was placing her feet. She should have had an assistant living with her. Her kids should have gotten involved with that. I would hope she had an elevator, but she probably enjoyed the drama of using her grand staircase more. So sad.

[@exeterline1930]

73 is kind of young to need a live-in assistant, but with her hip issue, a huge house, and her need for security having so much wealth, her family should have been more firm. Every elderly person I've known has refused to admit they need help. They're stubborn, but the family must persist. It's a difficult stage to deal with. For most families, trying to figure out the financial arrangements for live-in help or which child to move in with causes a lot of family conflict, but it has to be done. However, since she was so rich, the finances for live-in help could have easily been handled by them, unlike the rest of us. Further, I don't think she should have ever been allowed to live alone with all that money. She was an easy target. I know they said there was a coffee cup near where she was found. They didn't say if there was coffee spilled on the stairs or splashed on the walls. Was there any coffee on the stairs or wall? If she was holding coffee and fell down the stairs acquiring all those bruises, there should have been coffee everywhere, unless it was a covered container. If there was coffee everywhere, they would have suggested the 'fell down the stairs scenario' first, instead of the 'cardiac arrest' scenario. It's just a question I have.

[@coeus1587]

Death from falls are one of the biggest threats to the elderly. As you get older, you have all kinds of issues like poorer balance, reaction, vision, muscles are a lot weaker, etc. It's an unfortunate thing. But, she should've had a frequent visiting nurse or caregiver to check on her. Especially if she knew she was feeling weak and having a harder time getting around. There's medical services that will help. She should've known better than to be using the stairs. It's an obvious safety issue.

I know My mother was recovering from a stroke when Dad went out on a short errand. She went to use the bathroom but fell and broke her hip. My father came back to find her laying on the floor. She was rushed to the hospital and had the hip replaced; unfortunately Mom had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and died two weeks later.

"icy cold" is how you describe a woman who was treated horribly by the media who made fun of her accent. She appears to be a good mother who dealt with so much hatred, all because of who her husband is. She could turn it all around by leaving him, and breaking up the family, but doesn't need to be upheld by the soulless talking heads. All politics aside, I respect her for that.

[@Celisar1]

She was made fun of because her English is absolutely horrible still after so many years.

[@caligirl3000]

@@Celisar1 She speaks 5 languages. How much do you speak? They're are a lot of Hispanics here in Florida, who have lived in the U.S. for years and know not one word of English. Nor do they make an effort to learn English. They don't try and asking us if we speak Spanish. WTH? You're in our country and want us to speak their language. Melania has made an effort to adapt to American culture and our language. Ivana had a deep accent as well and she was never bashed on her English. And a lot of the hate Melania is getting is because of the hatred people have for DT. Give her a break!!!!

I actually met Ivana and Robert Plant in 1988 at The Four Season Hotel in Boston. Both within 2 hours. It was just luck and I don't believe they were aware of each other. I love Zeppelin so I basically was trying to meet Robert. She walked by me and I said" Hi. How are you? And she said" I am doing fine, Thank you for asking and She asked me how I was doing? I said" Great thank you. She gave me a little wave and said" Buh Bye. I hear all the socialite talk but when I met her she wasn't snotty or uppity. Just a kind soul. A day I will never forget. God bless you Ivana. RIP

Ivana said in an interview I heard weeks ago that she hasn't felt well in quite a while. She was harldy leaving her apartment and her hip was in terrible pain. Even the restaurant where she went for soup a week ago, reported that she was in good spirits, but ate very little and it was obvious she wasn't well. Why in the world are you trying to make something of it that is no more than perfectly normal. 73 is NOT young. The media gets disgusting with its determination to cause chaos where there is none. God bless Ivana. Leave the lady alone.

Totally agree. Trauma to torso her breast should have protected her also her torso. How many people have trauma to the torso lol. Red flag!! Who would benefit from her accidental ? Death. She should have bruises/trauma to her head n extremities . And she was found with a coffee cup in her hand or next to her. Sounds like she had blunt trauma to her torso weapon used??

After you reach a certain age, some women, I am one of those, start having falls. We moved to a single story house for that reason. I have had several falls, one where I fell flat on my frontside, and I thought I might die, because the pain was horrific. I fell and hit my head and suffered a a hematoma subdura. That’s been several months ago and I have several heads aches a week. I never thought my legs would let me down, I’ve always been very mobile and active. But my point is, be really careful as you start into your mid sixties. One bad fall seems to lead to others and now I have become limited to what I can do. I always admired Ivana and I can imagine her family is really grieving and I am truly sorry for their loss. I too hope she didn’t suffer.
