Joan Rivers autopsy results revealed

celebrityabout

We know Joan Rivers died as a result of something that went on during her throat surgery at a New York City clinic, but now the official results of the autopsy have been revealed, and they shed a bit more light on what actually happened that day. From TMZ: Joan Rivers died because she went into hypoxic arrest during her throat procedure … cutting off oxygen to her brain — but the medical examiner is calling it a “predictable complication.” The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner released its findings today, revealing that Joan was sedated with Propofol during the procedure. The investigation also revealed Joan had the procedure to evaluate changes in her voice and to deal with acid reflux. Joan suffered brain damage due to lack of oxygen. As for the “predictable complication” … it appears the Examiner is saying her cause of death is simply a risk associated with either anesthesia, the procedure, or both. While I understand that she was old and therefore a high risk patient to begin with, that still doesn’t clear the people at the clinic from doing an unauthorised biopsy and all of that shit. Is that not when she went into hypoxic arrest? I still think an investigation needs to be done here – especially considering employees were taking selfies with her unconscious body – but I think the conclusion will end up being that it was just her time to go.

Melissa Rivers speaks for the first time since Joan Rivers’ death

celebrityabout

Melissa Rivers has been through some incredibly sad times lately – the rather sudden death of her mother Joan Rivers must be very hard to deal with, to say the very least, but she’s been so overwhelmed by the love and support from fans that she’s spoken out for the first time since Joan’s passing to offer her appreciation in a new WhoSay post. As my son Cooper and I mourn the loss of my mother, we want to thank everyone for the beautiful cards and flowers conveying heartfelt messages and condolences, which continue to arrive from around the world and through social media. My mother would have been overwhelmed by the scope and depth of the love that people have expressed for her. It is certainly helping to lift our spirits during this time. We are forever grateful for your kindness and support in continuing to honor my mother’s legacy, and for remembering the joy and laughter that she brought to so many. Unfortunately, this is something she’s not likely to find much peace on for a while, given the recent revelations about Yorkville Endoscopy, the clinic that performed the procedures which led to Joan’s cardiac arrest and eventual death.
