And the drama unfolds. TMZ just broke the news that the doctor who
performed the endoscopy on late legendary comedian Joan Rivers at
Yorkville Endoscopy, NY, has been fired
by the clinic's board.
Dr. Lawrence Cohen stepped down after the board
asked him to do so - however, the board isn't directly blaming him for
Joan's death..
A rep for the clinic
confirmed he was ousted from his position as medical director. According
to our sources ... the board's issue with Cohen is that he allowed
Joan's doc to step in and perform an unauthorized procedure.
Reportedly, that procedure was a biopsy ... and Joan went into
respiratory and cardiac arrest while it was being done. Cohen is a world
renowned gastroenterologist ... and also co-owner of Yorkville. He's
been on administrative leave since Joan's procedure on August 28.
