Joan Rivers' manner of death was linked to a “therapeutic complication,” the New York City medical examiner said Thursday, in a huge statement sure to set the tone for future actions in connection with her passing last month.

According to medical examiner spokeswoman Julie Bolcer, the comic’s low blood oxygen, as result of the surgical complications, caused her brain damage and eventually, her death.

The office Thursday announced it “has completed its investigation into the death of Joan Rivers, and has ruled that the cause of death is anoxic encephalopathy due to hypoxic arrest during laryngoscopy and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with propofol sedation for evaluation of voice changes and gastroesophageal reflux disease.”
