Barry was found dead at her home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan early Monday, The New York Times reported, citing unidentified sources. She was found in her bedroom around 4 a.m. and pronounced dead at the scene, according to WABC-TV.

A medical examiner will determine her cause of death, and officials said there were no signs of trauma, WABC reported.

Barry, who was born in New York in 1937, served nine years as a federal prosecutor in New Jersey before President Ronald Reagan nominated her to become a federal judge in 1983. Sixteen years later, in 1991, President Bill Clinton nominated her to the U.S Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

She retired from the bench in 2019.

Barry was a close confidant of Trump’s, although their relationship was damaged during his last year as president when their niece, Mary Trump, released recordings of Barry being critical of the president, the Times reported.

Barry’s death marks the latest loss for the former president, who is the front-runner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. His younger brother, Robert Trump, died in 2020. His first wife, Ivana Trump, died last year in an apparent fall at her home in New York City.
