In the wake of Joan River’s death in September, River’s family hired a team of lawyers to investigate the possibility of medical malpractice, according to an NBC report. River’s went in for a routine surgery on her vocal chords and died from hypoxia, meaning her brain was cut off from sufficient oxygen. Officially, River’s death was declared as resulting from a ‘therapeutic complication,’ meaning that the comedian’s death occurred due to a foreseeable risk of the surgery. River’s family plans to take legal action to investigate the possibility that her death was caused by medical malpractice, rather than a known risk.
