Melissa Rivers Sues Clinic Over Mom Joan’s Death

Melissa Rivers filed a lawsuit against the clinic in New York City where her mom Joan Rivers’ heart stopped beating.

The lawsuit claims medical malpractice, alleging during the 20-minutes doctors tried to bring the comedian back to life, they did not think to perform a tracheotomy which facilitates breathing.

She also sued Joan’s personal doctor who she says should not have been permitted in the room where the procedure was being performed.
