Per her daughter Melissa, Joan was removed from life support and quietly and peacefully passed at about 1:15 EST this afternoon.
One of the best comments I saw in regards to Joan was she was an original and one of a kind and in a day of following and impersonation and group think, that made her all the more special.
Her unique perspectives and filterless commentary will be sorely missed.

Joan Rivers likely to be removed from life support shortly
Joan Rivers is on life support ... and sources close to the legendary comedian tell TMZ she is completely reliant on machines to stay alive.
According to our sources, the family will have to decide in the next couple of days whether to keep the 81-year-old on life support. We're told the family remains hopeful that if they do decide to turn off the machines, she will make a turn for the better and fight through it.
As TMZ first reported, Rivers was rushed to the hospital after she stopped breathing during throat surgery on Thursday.

John Rivers condition unclear as some say she is in critical condition, others stable
Joan Rivers Stops Breathing During Throat Surgery: Report
Joan Rivers has been rushed to the hospital after she stopped breathing during surgery on Thursday.
Rivers, 81, was at a New York City clinic for a throat procedure on her vocal cords when the complications occurred, reports TMZ.
Police tell PEOPLE there was an "81-year-old female transported from a doctor's office on 93rd Street to [Manhattan's] Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition." By afternoon, her condition was upgraded to stable condition.
According to reports, the Fashion Police star's daughter, Melissa Rivers, is headed to her mother's side.
Rivers has been as active as ever recently, making headlines last month for walking out on a CNN interview – an incident that David Letterman later jokingly referenced by walking out himself when she appeared on his show.
Rivers promoted her new book, Diary of a Mad Diva, at the New York City Time & Life Building, where PEOPLE is located, on Wednesday.
