Joan Rivers

Joan Rivers has passed away at the age of 81. The comedian died after going into cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest during a routine throat surgery at Yorkville Endoscopy last week. After the results of the surgery Joan Rivers was transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital and eventually died.

Daughter of Joan, Melissa Rivers provided a statement regarding the death of her mother:

It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother, Joan Rivers. She passed peacefully at 1:17 pm 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 for my mother.

Cooper and I have found ourselves humbled by the outpouring of love, support, and prayer 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.

Throughout her career Joan Rivers had many interactions with people of the hip-hop community, many of which expressed their sympathy via Twitter.
