The details of his cause of death have not been publicly released.

In recent weeks Robert Trump had led a lawsuit on behalf of the Trump family in a bid to stop the publication of a tell-all book by the president’s niece, Mary, titled “Too Much and Never Enough.”

Robert Trump was formerly a manager in the family’s group of companies, Trump Organisation.
