A woman has tragically died after being "violently ejected by a revolving door at Trump hotel," according to her family.
Diana Truschke, 78, was visiting the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on March 21, 2023, when a malfunctioning revolving door reportedly struck her in the back with enough force to "violently eject" her forward several feet.
"As a result, Ms. Truschke was violently ejected from the revolving door, causing her to be thrown several feet, ultimately falling to the sidewalk on her face," the lawsuit, cited by The Independent, alleges.
The complaint states that Truschke, a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, was left with severe injuries and received "extensive medical treatment" after being rushed to a nearby hospital, per Fox 5 Vegas and the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The woman passed away from "complications from her injuries" on October 14, 2024. Her health had "continued to deteriorate" in the months after the incident, the filing claims.
Truschke's family now accuses Trump International of failing to maintain the safety of its revolving door and alleges hotel staff were aware the door wasn’t functioning properly. The court filing also claims the property was not in compliance with safety regulations.
The wrongful death lawsuit is seeking general and special damages over $15,000 for loss of comfort and companionship, economic damages, future earnings, costs and expenses incurred for medical treatments and her funeral, physical pain and injury, emotional pain, and general damages.
A hearing has not been scheduled yet.
Trump International Hotel, located along Fashion Show Drive in Las Vegas, is managed by the Trump Organization - the holding company behind former President Donald Trump’s many business ventures.
Since the 78-year-old's first election in 2016, his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, have served as executive vice presidents overseeing operations.
The 64-story hotel, whose exterior is covered with gold trim, opened on Fashion Show Drive in 2008. It cost the 47th President of the United States and casino mogul Phil Ruffin, who owns half of it, $300 million to build.
