(NYDAILYNEWS) — Joan Rivers was on life-support Saturday as her daughter, family and friends kept an increasingly grim vigil at a Manhattan hospital.
The 81-year-old Rivers, initially placed in a medically induced coma after going into cardiac and respiratory arrest on Thursday, was dependent on the machines to keep her alive, TMZ.com reported.
Sources told the Daily News that Rivers’ daughter, Melissa, is “in denial” over her mother’s condition.
