The doctor who performed the endoscopy on Joan Rivers has been fired by the clinic's board of directors. Dr. Lawrence Cohen, who worked at Yorkville Endoscopy was asked by the board to step down but they didn’t directly blame him for Joan's death.
A rep for the clinic confirmed he was ousted from his position as medical director. Source told TMZ that the board's issue with Cohen is that he allowed Joan's ENT doc to perform an unauthorized biopsy and Joan went into cardiac arrest while it was being done.
Cohen is a world renowned gastroenterologist and also co-owner of Yorkville. He's been on administrative leave since Joan's procedure on August 28.
