Maryanne Trump Barry, 86, the elder sister of former US President Donald Trump and a retired federal judge, was found dead in her Upper East Side apartment, according to the New York Times.
Discovered in her Fifth Avenue residence at around 4 am, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The cause of Maryanne Trump Barry’s death is yet to be determined by the Medical Examiner, with no apparent signs of trauma reported.
In 1999, Maryanne Trump Barry was nominated by President Bill Clinton to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. While her brother, Donald Trump, assumed the presidency, she operated mostly under the radar, having previously worked as a businesswoman and in television.
Serving on the Philadelphia-based appeals court for two decades, she retired in 2019 amid a civil misconduct probe into her family’s suspected tax evasion.
