And thanks for joining us. Tonight, new details emerging about joan rivers during her last days. And even final minutes. Now, as her daughter, melissa, prepares for the funeral and loved ones remember the comedic legend, some are now questioning exactly what happened during what was supposed to be a routine procedure. Heres abcs david wright. Reporter the procedure that ended joan rivers life at this outpatient clinic, was not another round of plastic surgery. Nor was it a treatment for anything lifethreatening. According to family friends, it was routine stuff. A diagnostic procedure to treat her raspy voice. This wasnt to fix anything. It was to get in there and see why her voice has gotten raspy. Reporter among those last to see her alive was deborah norville, a close friend for 20 years. Shouldnt have happened. Reporter rivers was under general anesthesia when she went into cardiac arest. The staff called 911 by 9 41 a. M. They rushed her mt. Sinai medical center, arriving at 10 08. She was on life support. By the time i got up to the hospital, she was in this medicallyinduced coma, which is the standard medical protocol for someone who has gone through a period during which the brain may have been deprived of oxygen. Reporter the tv anchor, norville, among a small group of family and friends, Holding Rivers hand in the intensive care unit. And cracking jokes. She wouldnt want to be that would be horrible. She would kick you out. And i had thought about being if she would punch me. Reporter this was not your typical sendoff. Typical didnt fit joan rivers. Joan did it her way. Joan has this had this its hard to talk in the past tense about her, ill be honest with you. This was not an 81yearold woman who was on the verge of dementia or something. This was an 81yearold woman who was running circles around people a third of her age. These two on the red carpet, who is back at the trailer park making the nest . Reporter 81 still going strong as a performer. Its ugly. Reporter skewering celebrities on Fashion Police just two weeks ago. I hate it. Something to wash the [ bleep ] off my car. There was every reason to hope this would be a different outcome because joan was so vibrant. Because joans mind is so sharp. Every day around the united states, thousands of people who are over age 80 are getting anesthesia safely. And so, the fact that she died having anesthesia is an unusual event for someone of that age. Reporter the new York State Health department is investigating, as a matter of course. If someone dies in a setting where you dont expect there to be a death, a simple outpatient procedure, its not at all unusual to conduct an investigation. You want to see, was it a procedure that they should have been doing at that clinic . And was it done based on the current standard of care . Im personally really grateful to the Health Department of new york for launching an investigation and asking these questions, so there will be answers. Reporter today, the yorkville clinic reseriesed a statement, saying they have an exceptional safety record, that far exceeds the national average. This clinic may have done everything, single thing correctly. And still, a rare event could happen that could lead to death. Reporter rivers only child, her daughter, melissa, was by her side in the icu. And today, was making funeral arrangements. Whats the outpouring been like . Humbling. Reporter the two were very close. And worked sidebyside for years. In the last week, when joan went into the hospital, i believe that one of the reasons we have become so fascinated by the story and so invested in joans health is because of melissa. We know so much about the relationship. We know about melissa. Were concerned about melissa. Its very easy for people in the public to put yourself in melissas place. Reporter joans career spanned five decades. The details of her life on display in her comedy. Im sit tong stool thats covered in barf. Reporter and in the documentary, joan rivers a piece of work. I was never a natural beauty. No man has ever, ever told me im beautiful. Reporter she was famous for her work ethic. Still doing the standup circuit, late into her 70s. So, you all saw the golden globes, yes . Oh, please. How boring can you get . Reporter and it paid off. She lived lavishly in this antiquesfilled apartment just off new yorks fifth avenue. The apartment, worth close to 30 million. I live very, very, very well. I enjoy my creature comforts. And i know i have to work for it. Reporter but her career had plenty of ups and downs. At one point, she was close to financial ruin. After those years, i was fired from fox. Fired from fox. My husband committed suicide. My husband invested all our money. And it was all lost.

Reporter family friend, ricky stern, correct directed a piece of work. Theres a moment in the film where shes writing checks. Stacks of checks that go to pay for peoples education. Things that no one ever really talked about. So, she had to be business smart. She was as successful as a businesswoman because she was really smart. And because i think she wanted to work so much that she looked for opportunity. Money was important to her. She wanted to provide for her family. She wanted to live well. Reporter the private Memorial Service will be held sunday at manhattans temple emanuel. The house, sure to be packed. Outside her apartment, wreaths of flowers from fans. Her friends say she would have loved this kind of attention. Yesterday, everybody came home to the apartment. And i was speaking to one of the people in the group. And i said, how was it . Was there a ton of paparazzi. She said, it was awful. I said, you know, its a testament to how big joan was. And she said, yeah. You know, the awful thing is, the one person who would think this is fabulous isnt here to enjoy it. Reporter altogether, the sort of ending that rivers herself could have easily found some humor in. A snarky joke, perhaps at her own expense. Oh, its the nexttolast show. Who gives a [ bleep ] . I never made a [ bleep ] in this place. It was part of her act, you know . If you ever saw her show, when she would get into the part when she talked about being 81 and blah, blah, blah. She joked about the night before she died. Reporter her family and friends like to think that somewhere, she must be having the last laugh. Im david wright, for nightline, in new york. Next, these snakes have venom. But theyve also got moves.

But tonight, youre going to meet a group of people who claim they can handle it. Snake charmers appear to control cobras so deadly, that Just One Bite can be lethal. We sent our gloria riviera, to face her fears and find their secrets. Reporter it was the snake that stalked los angeles. A killer albino cobra on the loose, terrifying neighbors. A terrifying experience. I think its a cobra. Reporter its bite so deadly, it can kill within an hour. Last night, the snake finally captured. Where it came from, still a history. Hollywood has a long tradition of being afraid of snakes. From Indiana Jones worst nightmare. Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes . Reporter to the enemies that nearly finished Samuel Jackson off on snakes on a plane. We have to put a barrier between us and the snake. Reporter why on earth would we travel all the way to india, to come facetoface with this. A cobra so deadly, one bite and youre done. In india, snakes arent reviled, theyre revered. Icons in their religion. Were looking for their modernday keepers, the charmers. Men able to hypetize these creatures in a dance. Were going to a snake charmer village. Their art, theyre a marginalized community. Hi. Gloria. Hi. We meet shiva, a man helping snake charmers survive. Not easy. The Wildlife Protection act of 1972, banned owning a snake. Snake charming, viewed as inhumane. But he says the men he knows, treat the snakes like family. Before we go on, theres just one thing. Like indy, i also hate snakes. I told you it would be all right. Reporter i need to be prepared for how big these things are. Which is a small problem because shiva is taking me to meet men who live with cobras. Getting on the motorcycle to head out and meet the snake charmers and the snakes. If youre in india, you have to ride on a motorcycle. Good idea. When we reach mondi, its quiet. Almost deserted. This is an illegal community. Theyre not supposed to be here. But they have no other option. Nowhere to go. Like gypsies, snake charmers today live in fringe colonies. Were going to talk to one of the guys that agreed to show us. Thank you. We meet a snake charmer who tells us, god blessed his family with the ability to charm snakes. Youre taking that out right now . Hes taking the snake out right now. Should i stay right here . Me, now off the bed, he said he caught this one just ten days ago. Hes been feeding it milk and chicken. He says cobras are actually quite shy animals. Only attacking when provoked. When they do bite, their fangs deliver a deadly toxin from their venom gland. Just then, unfazed, he says he has a medicine that neutralizes the poison. But im not so sure. The poison wont go inside your body. Reporter has he ever been bitten . So many times. Reporter so many times youve been bitten . I wouldnt mind a stash of that medicine myself. But before i can ask, he proves his point. Oh. Definitely dont do that. Wow. Wow. Wow. Heading out to meet more snakes, great, im starting to wonder if theres more to this. Even the children here dont bat an eyelash. Thats me hiding behind a toddler, we see what has captivated audiences for centuries. This killer cobra, swaying to the music, in a tranquil dance. Just briefly, im as beguiled as the snake swaying to music. That is, until i talk to this guy. The music is really for you. This is not reporter wait a minute. What . Turns out cobras are essentially deaf. Snake charming, a sham. And the pipe is to get the snake to look up. Reporter this is the cofounder of wildlife s. O. S. Hes been rallying against snake charmers for years. Its not the music, he says. Look at his knee. Can you see his knee moving . Thats what is keeping the snake engrossed. Reporter and that deadly venom, not so much. Right there, the venom is gone . Absolutely. Reporter wish i had known that earlier. They get bitten and they get killed. Reporter snake charmers remove the fangs and often, the venom glands. A painfully inprecise procedure that can kill the snake. You see that depression. Thats where the venom gland would have kept it. No snake charmer will ever have a cobra that is not defanged. That does not have the venom glands intact. It does not happen. Reporter as for the medicine the snake charmer claimed he had onhand, he says thats highly unlikely. You look at this and in two seconds, you said this is not close to truth. Absolutely. Reporter i was the most gullible tourist in deli. He tries to rescue as many cobras as he can, convincing some charmers to turn in their flutes and help him. In the village, shiva is trying to educate the next generation, so they have options. Reporter snakes are beautiful. And youre not afraid at all . Im afraid. Im afraid. For now, snake charming is still their family business. For nightline, gloria riviera. Congrats to gloria for making it through that story.
