Joan Rivers arrived at a local New York City hospital on Aug. 28 following a cardiac arrest she suffered during a procedure at Yorkville Endoscopy.
After spending a week at Mount Sinai Hospital, Rivers' death was announced when Melissa released a statement, saying, "It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother, Joan Rivers."
