Joan Rivers

Joan Rivers was in surgery, and someone apparently paused to take a selfie.

Yes, you read that right.

A staff member at Manhattan’s Yorkville Endoscopy has told investigators that the doctor supposedly responsible for sending Joan into cardiac arrest, paused during the surgery to take a photo.

The source told investigators that the selfie was taken while Joan was under anaesthesia, and just moments before she went into cardiac arrest.

In recent news, we learned that an undisclosed doctor – an ear, nose and throat specialist not certified by the clinic (as required by law) – performed a biopsy on Joan’s vocal cord without the comedienne’s consent.

As reported by Mamamia last week:

An investigation into the death of the 81-year-old Fashion Police host is still ongoing by the State Health Department. The clinic refused to comment on the alleged ‘selfie’ taken by the mystery doctor.

More to come.
