Following the circumstances surrounding the death of comedian Joan Rivers, the Medical Director at Yorkville Endoscopy, where Joan Rivers was having her procedure and went into cardiac arrest, Dr. Lawrence Cohen has been asked by the board to step down from his post, which he accepted.

Fresh facts have emerged about an unauthorized doctor being present for the actress's medical procedure, which led to Dr. Cohen's dismissal.
