-

JOAN Rivers’ daughter threw up when she learnt her doctor had taken a selfie with her mother on the operating table.

Melissa Rivers was horrified when she learnt that a physician had taken a picture while conducting a biopsy on the comedienne’s vocal chords and is concerned that the photo of the Fashion

Police star – who died after suffering cardiac arrest during the routine procedure last September – will one day be made public.

She said: “I think the day I found out, I actually threw up. God! It’s so wrong on so many levels.”

The producer, 47, also recalled her final moments with her mother, who was in a coma for a week before she died.

She said: “They put a cot in the room for me, and I slept next to her bed that last night.

“Once they removed the ventilator, we knew it would take some time, and I got into the bed with her and held her.

“Finally the doctor said: ‘Honestly, you guys need to leave the room for a while.’

“So we all took a little break for a second.

“She died about an hour after that.” – Female First
