Joan Rivers
Stops Breathing During Surgery
(Update: Critical Condition)

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.”
I’m thinking it’s a pretty safe bet they restarted the heart beating.
Prayers for Ms. Rivers. I had a cardiac arrest 6 years ago and it was “touch and go” for a few days. With no oxygen to the brain, she could have significant brain damage, depending on how long she wasn’t breathing.
