Joan Rivers Dead at 81

Acid-tongued comedienne Joan Rivers, who parlayed her ground-breaking stand-up act into a second career as talk show host, fashion critic and reality show star, died Thursday afternoon. She was 81.
"It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother, Joan Rivers," her only child Melissa announced in a three-paragraph statement. "She passed peacefully at 1:17 p.m. surrounded by family and close friends.
"My mother's greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing too."
Melissa Rivers apparently decided to take her mother off life support at The Mount Sinai Hospital eight days after she arrived at the facility.
