Legendary comedienne Joan Rivers, 81, has passed away at Mount Sinai Hospital in NY, just a week after her heart suddenly stopped beating during routine vocal cord surgery. Her daughter #MelissaRivers took her off life support so she could pass comfortably in a private room.
In a statement, Melissa announced the sad news:
“It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother, Joan Rivers. She passed peacefully at 1:17pm surrounded by family and close friends. My son and I would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff of Mount Sinai Hospital for the amazing care they provided by mother.”
“Cooper and I have found ourselves humbled by the outpouring of love, support, and prayers we have received from around the world. They have been heard and appreciated. My mother’s greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon.”
The clinic where she had the surgery is now under investigation. Joan's funeral will be held at Temple Emanu-El in NY on Sunday and she wrote her funeral requests in her 2012 book which you can see in the pic directly below. She was so funny!. May her soul rest in peace
