A few weeks after the burial of late US comedienne, Joan Rivers, reports reveal there may have been some discrepancies in the incidents that led to her death.
CNN reports that late Rivers went into a
cardiac arrest on Thursday, August 28, 2014 while her personal doctor
was performing a biopsy on her vocal chords without her consent and
added that the doctor also took a selfie with an unconscious Rivers
while in the procedure room.
Investigators believe that her vocal
chords began to swell during the biopsy which cut off the flow of oxygen
to her lungs and eventually led to a cardiac arrest.
It is yet unknown whether legal actions
will be taken against the doctor but CNN reports that the doctor, Cohen
has resigned from his position as the hospital’s medical director.
Rivers,
81, had gone to Yorkville Endoscopy for a procedure intended to help
diagnose her hoarse voice and sore throat but after the complications,
was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital where she died a week after.
