Melissa Rivers Has Officially Sued Endoscopy Clinic

Almost five months after her mother's death, Melissa Rivers has filed a lawsuit over the death of Joan Rivers. The suit is filed against Yorkville Endoscopy and five doctors. Page Six has some details from the lawsuit. Dr. Gwen Korovin performed an unplanned biopsy of Rivers' throat, and Lawrence Cohen followed that up with his own throat scope. This is when River's vitals went haywire, and instead of attending to her, Cohen took cell phone pictures. The situation continued to devolve from there. Melissa Rivers is suing for unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
