LOS ANGELES — A longtime friend of Joni Mitchell says in a court filing that the singer-writer is unconscious and unable to make medical decisions for herself.
Leslie Morris filed a petition Tuesday seeking to be named the folk singer’s conservator. Morris is identified in a court filing as a friend of Mitchell’s for more than 44 years.
A declaration from a doctor states the 71-year-old Mitchell will likely be unable to attend any court hearings for the next four to six months, but it does not provide further details on her condition or prognosis.
Mitchell was hospitalized March 31 after being found unconscious in her Los Angeles home. No updates about her health have been posted to her website or Twitter account since early April, when a message stated she was resting comfortably and improving.
