Mommy Is Good - Melissa Rivers, Inherits $75m From Late Mother

Now this is sure something to be thankful to Mom for, as Melissa Rivers has inherited the bulk of her late mother Joan's multi-million dollar estate.
According to Us Weekly, the 46-year-old will inherit $75 million in cash as well as her mother's $35 million New York apartment.

Melissa's 13-year-old son Cooper has received his own bequest, a source told the publication.
But inheriting her mother's sizable estate hasn't brought much comfort to Melissa.
'It's no consolation for losing her mother so soon,' said the source.

Meanwhile, the world will never know what action killed the comedian after a routine surgery, because her heartbroken daughter told doctors NOT to perform an autopsy. Joan died last month after a throat surgery left her brain dead.

Her daughter was left so despondent by her mother's sudden and unexpected passing that she specifically requested no autopsy be conducted, TMZ reports.

According to New York law, a family member can request that if there's no evidence of criminality associated with the death.

Rivers died from a 'predictable' complication involved in the throat procedure, the New York Medical Examiner reported.

A further autopsy could have pinpointed what exactly what went wrong during the surgery - such as a puncture in the throat or some other trauma.

Yorkville Endoscopy, the clinic where Rivers underwent surgery, has since been deemed deficient in four major categories required for accreditation following an investigation by the New York State Health Department. If it does not correct these problems, it will lose its license on January 7 of next year.
