Emergency services were called when Joan stopped breathing during throat surgery. The ‘Fashion Police’ presenter was rushed to an NYC hospital, where her family have been keeping a bedside vigil.
Joan’s relatives are now apparently “hoping to hold someone responsible” and are considering whether legal action could be an option.
A source tells the New York Daily News: "The night before she was performing and now she is on life support.
On Sunday, it was reported that Joan’s family, including her daughter Melissa, were facing the agonising decision over whether to switch off the life support machine that is aiding her breathing, however, her condition is now believed to have improved.
