Iconic comedian Joan Rivers, 81, is on life support on a New York hospital following complications from her Thursday heart attack.

Daughter Melissa says she and the rest of her family are “keeping their fingers crossed” that Rivers’ condition will improve. For now, doctors are monitoring her situation, and will keep her in her coma until signs of improvement.
