According to TMZ…

Joan Rivers — who made the world laugh for over 50 years with her jokes, put-downs and one-liners — has died in NYC … a week after her heart suddenly stopped beating during vocal cord surgery. She was 81.

Joan’s daughter Melissa Rivers took her mom off life support so she could pass comfortably in a private room.

Rivers is widely credited for opening doors for countless female comedians. She broke through in a big way during her appearances on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson.
