It’s being reported that Joan Rivers’ doctor took a picture with the star while she was under anaesthetic.
The late comedienne passed away earlier this month. CNN claim the incident occurred when Joan was waiting to go in and have a routine procedure on the vocal chords.
Sadly, Joan suffered a cardiac arrest during the operation and never recovered.
Officials looking into her death were apparently informed of the incident by another member of staff at the clinic.
The claims are now being investigated.
Earlier this week, a recording of Joan emerged and included her complaining of problems with her voice and throat, saying: “I told [you] I didn't feel good. My voice has been bothering me. I don't know what it is.
“I feel like s**t. I'm tired already.”
Shortly after Joan’s death, the clinic’s director stepped down from his post, with ABC telling their Twitter followers:
“[Dr Lawrence Cohen] is no longer performing procedures at the clinic.”
