When I first started as a reporter, I was covering a car accident and writing a version of the story for the web. I put in the story that the driver was decapitated.

I got yelled at pretty good.

D: wow.

For me it's not wrongful reporting of death in this case, but that they are making a difficult personal decision "news."

She has to decide whether and when to take her mother off of life support: "Could come this weekend!"

That's ridiculous. There used to be some respect in the media-not that I would call "entertainment media" worthy of respect--but this is the type of thing that is simply reported, after the fact, when she officially dies. Such details have no relevance to anyone but the family.
 
There's yet to be a single news account with enough information to be more than a blurb. I'm assuming this throat surgery was elective and cosmetic as it was performed in a clinic. If Joan does die, not performing this procedure in a hospital might be her undoing.

I just hope that Melissa keeps her mom on life support until all options are exhausted. Doctors who speak most definitively are usually the most wrong.
 
Looks like the cut-rate plastic surgery clinic she chose is now under investigation. Plastic surgery at 80 is a bad idea. Probably the anesthesia killed her. They probably did not have anyone monitoring her arterial oxygen saturation.

D: Did you actually see the aftermath? How'd you know?

Also, RIP Joan Rivers.
 
This is not the thread to post how much you're happy you no longer have to listen to her cr@ss @ss. (but I'll let you know as soon as I find one for us.)

Yes. To me, it was factual news so needed to be reported. That was my introduction to "The news doesn't have to really be all the news."

This must have been a while ago because the news today rarely spares "interesting" details like decapitations.

I like that phrasing, considering your story. 😀 (again: laughing at the phrasing--not the decapitation)
 
I heard some of her earlier work used PCB's which is going to be interesting when they bury her. I don't think the funeral home wants to end up an EPA superfund site 20 years down the line.
