After

a
cardiac
arrest,
the
legendary
American
comedian

Rivers
died
on
Thursday
in
a
New
York
hospital.
Joan
was
admitted
a
week
ago
after
suffering
from
cardiac
arrest,
her
daughter
said.
The
comedian
was
81.
"It
is
with
great
sadness
that
I
announce
the
death
of
my
mother,
Joan
Rivers.
She
passed
peacefully
at
1.17
p.m.
surrounded
by
family
and
close
friends," Efe
quoted
Melissa
Rivers
as
saying
in
a
statement.
The
comedian
and
host
of
E!
television's
Fashion
Police,
was
admitted
on
an
urgent
basis
to
Mount
Sinai
Hospital
last
Thursday
after
having
respiratory

support.
Joan
Rivers
was
known
for
her
wit,
plastic
surgeries
and
trademark
question:
"Can
we
talk?".
Over
eight
decades,
she
took
a
dig
at
everyone
and
everything
including
herself.
She
did
not
care
whether
her
words
invited
controversy
or
made
her
a
joke,
Joan
Rivers
had
a
big
mouth
and
she
was
not
bothered
about
how
people
take
her.
For
example,
Joan
Rivers
who
got
too
many
plastic
surgeries
once
made
fun
of
herself
and
said,
"I've
had
so
much
plastic
surgery,
when
I
die
they
will
donate
my
body
to
Tupperware"
