Joan Rivers Had a Heart Condition Since 1985 That "Scared The Hell" Out of Her

Yesterday was Joan Rivers' funeral. The 81-year-old legend died a week after she suddenly stopped breathing during a routine throat procedure, but turns out Joan's death might not have been as out-of-the-blue as some people thought. In 1985, Joan opened up about a medical condition she had, a heart arrhythmia, on Good Morning America, and discussed how it "scared the hell" out of her. She said she'd sometimes hear and feel her heart beat irregularly and got really scared.
