Melissa Rivers was tasked with going through her mother’s lavish Upper East Side penthouse condo, now on sale for $28 million. She said she had to shake out books and magazines and open aerosol cans to find the stashes of cash Joan hid around her apartment.

"Then I was told she used Milk Duds boxes as her travel wallets," Rivers said. "And we've been throwing things out!"

The family of the late Joan Rivers has settled with the clinic at the center of a medical malpractice lawsuit following the comedian's death, attorneys for the family tell CNN.

Rivers died September 4, 2014, at the age of 81, a week after an appointment at Manhattan's Yorkville Endoscopy clinic.

"In choosing to accept this settlement, I am able to put the legal aspects of my mother's death behind me and ensure that those culpable for her death have accepted responsibility for their actions quickly and without equivocation," daughter Melissa Rivers said in a statement.

The terms of the settlement are confidential, attorney Ben Rubinowitz said...
