Joan, 81, was taken to Mount Sinai hospital in New York last Thursday after experiencing complications with a routine operation on her vocal cords that caused her to go into cardiac arrest and stop breathing.
The comedienne was put into a medically-induced coma and placed on life support.
Her daughter Melissa, 46, said that Joan's condition was improving only for her to pass away a few hours later surrounded by friends and family.
