RIP Joan Rivers

[jonvi]

Joan Rivers is prolly my favorite all time female comedian. She was awesome back in the day.



8:49 AM PT -- The NYPD tells us ... Joan is currently in critical condition.

We're told ... at one point, Joan's heart stopped beating.

It's unclear if doctors were able to restart the comic's heart.

8:15 AM PT -- We're told an emergency call was placed to 911 at 9:39 AM ET and the caller said, "We have somebody in either cardiac or respiratory arrest."

Joan Rivers was rushed to a hospital in New York City moments ago ... after she stopped breathing during a surgery on her throat ... TMZ has learned.

We're told Rivers was undergoing the throat procedure in a clinic (specifically on her vocal chords) ... when she stopped breathing during the surgery.

Sources say 81-year-old Rivers was rushed to Mount Sinai hospital in New York.

We're told her daughter Melissa is on her way to New York.

WTF do you expect when you keep running to a specialist/plastic-surgeon/any doctor and going-under [aka-annastesia/sp]at age 81,....she's playing ~Russian-roulette~ with her g-dam body.

I hope this isn't it for Joan. Irreverent comedy at its best. She is a true pioneer in comedy.

She's only 81? For some reason I thought she was a lot older. Like in her early 90s or so.

Funny stuff....but I'm thinking surgery on the "throat" isn't cosmetic.
