(CNN) -- The cardiac arrest leading to Joan Rivers' death happened as the comedian's personal doctor began performing a biopsy on her vocal cords, a source close to the death investigation told CNN.
A staff member at Manhattan's Yorkville Endoscopy clinic told investigators that the doctor, who has not been publicly identified, took a selfie photo in the procedure room while Rivers was under anesthesia, the source said.

I sure hope she wasn't included in the selfie

It seems the clinic is denying a lot of charges.
This is included in the report linked to from CNN, although the clinic denies the biopsy caused her death:
"Investigators believe that Rivers' vocal chords began to swell during the allegedly unauthorized biopsy, cutting off the flow of oxygen to her lungs, which led to cardiac arrest on the morning of August 29, the source said."
There's more in the report for anyone interested.

At the end of the video Anderson tries to clarify. It is believed Joan is in the selfie in the background.

They did but if you watch the CNN piece, their medical expert said it's possible because the biopsy wasn't completed then technically no biopsy was performed.
