“She passed peacefully at 1:17 PM surrounded by family and close friends.”
During a minor endoscopic procedure last Thursday to check her vocal cords at an Upper East Side clinic, Rivers stopped breathing and was rushed to Mount Sinai, where she was put into a medically induced coma.
Yesterday, she was moved from intensive care to a private room at the Manhattan hospital.
