Sep 3, 2014  •  Post A Comment

Melissa Rivers, the daughter of Joan Rivers, said in a statement Wednesday that “my mother has been moved out of intensive care and into a private room where she is being kept comfortable,” reports a story on the website of WCBS. The article, which carries a joint byline of the TV station and the Associated Press, adds that the statement included a thank you to the public “for your continued support.”

The story notes: “Rivers’ family said on Tuesday morning that she remained on life support. The family didn’t specify on Wednesday whether Rivers’ move out of ICU meant she had been removed from life support.”

The article adds, Joan Rivers, 81, “went into cardiac and respiratory arrest last Thursday while undergoing a vocal cord procedure at a private Upper East Side clinic. She was then rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she was placed in a medically induced coma.”
