Melissa Rivers has settled a malpractice lawsuit against Yorkville Endoscopy clinic, where her mother slipped into a coma and then eventually died on Sept. 4 2014, as well as an unauthorized doctor who was in the surgery room at the time of her mother Joan Rivers' fatal throat procedure.

After the 81-year-old's death, the medical examiner determined that comedian had stopped breathing during the procedure and had suffered fatal brain damage resulting from a lack of oxygen.

TMZ is reporting that a source would not tell them the specific amount of the suit but that that it was likely in the eight-figure range (aka at least $10 million).

The settlement against the faulty clinic and Dr. Gwen Korovin, who allegedly was not supposed to be in clinic's surgery room at the time of funny lady's fatal procedure, came about quickly very quickly by legal standards as it did not even reach the deposition stage -- sounds like they knew the messed up real bad!

Melissa says she's glad that, "those culpable for [Joan's] death have accepted responsibility for their actions quickly and without equivocation."

The grieving daughter also said that the lawsuit and final settlement will help improv the quality of outpatient surgery clinics.
