After being in the hospital for cardiac arrest last week, Emmy-winning comedian Joan Rivers died today in New York.
She was 81.
“It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother, Joan Rivers,” Melissa Rivers said in a statement.
“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.
