Dunno man, conflicted as these types of falling fatalities in the elderly are seemingly fairly common.

Ivana was 73, by most accounts had failing/ declining health for last several years - even apparently needing aides to help with walking when out for some of her last public appearances.

In hindsight: An elevator installed in the apartment to avoid having to climb up and down a spiral staircases everyday, would have seemed prudent. Even an in-home night nurse/ assistant in the event of a potential fall/ medical emergency - rather than someone showing up hours later on the next day. More so.

Elderly mother older than 73 frail, a fall down stairs would probably be fatal for her. Elderly father before he passed, lost balance/ passed out as he got out of bed one morning, hit his head on the dresser corner as he fell, then had a stroke as he lay on the ground - he was fortunate that time bc my Mother was in the room with him and was able to call an ambulance.

Anyways RIP Ivana.
