Police Investigate Clinic Where Joan Rivers Went Into Cardiac Arrest

Investigations have begun into the hospital where late comedienne Joan Rivers went into cardiac arrest.

Rivers was at the Yorkville Endoscopy Clinic last week for a procedure involving her vocal cords when she went into cardiac arrest.

The New York State Department of Health declined to provide specifics but says investigators have visited the facility.

In an email, a spokesperson said their inquiries include “document and medical record reviews, observation, and interviews with facility staff, physicians and others as appropriate.”
