Joan Rivers placed on life support - Actress and comedian is now completely reliant on life-support machine after cardiac arrest, according to reports: Joan Rivers, the actress and comedian, has been placed on life support days after suffering from a cardiac arrest during throat surgery, according to reports. Rivers was rushed to hospital in New York on Thursday after she stopped breathing while undergoing an endoscopy at a Manhattan clinic. According to TMZ, she is now reliant on life support machines and the family will be given the decision by doctors of whether or not to turn the machines off. During this month’s Gaza conflict, she caused fresh controversy when she told a website that that Palestinian civilians deserve to be dead, but she later insisted her words had been taken out of context. The family hope that the 81-year-old star, who was put into a medically induced coma on Friday, will then bounce back and recover to full health. telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/11066132/Joan-Rivers-placed-on-life-support.html
