Robert Trump, 71, the younger brother of President Trump, died on August 15 after being treated at New York Hospital.

Trump's aide said he would attend his brother's funeral, despite his busy schedule and running in the coming days.

The Daily Beast reported in June that Robert Trump had been treated for at least 10 days in an intensive care unit at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan.

Robert Trump is the youngest of the five siblings of the US President.

Unlike his brother, Robert Trump has been quite quiet in recent years in Milbrook, Dutchess County, New York.
