As we mourn the eighth anniversary of her death, let’s take a look at how the star died and the scandal that still surrounds her death.Joan Rivers died at the age of 81 on September 4, 2014, a week after an appointment at Manhattan’s Yorkville Endoscopy clinic.A medical examiner reported that the star died of “therapeutic complications” during a procedure to evaluate her “voice changes” and stomach reflux.

The report read: “The classification of a death as a therapeutic complication means that the death resulted from a predictable complication of medical therapy.”The report also claims Rivers died of low blood oxygen while also being sedated with propofol.

The lack of oxygen for the prolonged time caused severe brain damage. She was then put under propofol to examine her condition, where her heart shortly stopped.“She stopped breathing and her heart went into arrhythmia because there wasn’t sufficient oxygen to maintain the heart muscle.“The pump, the heart itself, was unable to move fresh oxygenated blood upstream to the brain.” Her daughter, Melissa Rivers, told ABC News, "We continue to be saddened by our tragic loss and grateful for the enormous outpouring of love and support from around the world. "We have no further comment at this time." A person briefed on the Rivers investigation said an autopsy was not performed on Joan Rivers at the instruction of the family and in accordance with Jewish law.Having spent decades in the showbiz industry, it is no surprise that Joan amassed a fortune during her.
