Donda West, 58, the beautiful mother of the 30-year-old
rapper Kanye West, passed way Saturday around 8:30 p.m. in a Los Angeles hospital after undergoing a
cosmetic surgery.
According to media sources, she was scheduled to have
breast-augmentation for symmetry and a tummy tuck. She is likely to have
suffered an uncontrolled bleeding after going home to recover from the surgery.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Jan Adams stated for TMZ that he was the
doctor who performed the cosmetic surgery on West before she died and he did
everything right.
He confessed that her death was unforeseen and could have
had multiple causes such as heart attack, pulmonary embolism or massive
vomiting.
Dr. Adams told TMZ that West had consulted him for some four
months, in an attempt to decide whether to undergo surgery or not.
He said that another Beverly Hills doctor Andre Aboolian refused to involve
in the surgery because West had a complicated medical condition. She needed a
medical clearance before he would perform the surgery, Jo-Ann Geffen, Dr.
Abolian’s publicist said.
"He simply said that in order for him to be comfortable, he felt it
necessary to have a medical clearance before he'd touch her. He feels terrible
because he said she was such a sweet lady," Geffen said according to
Associated Press.
"He is sleazy and manipulating the truth to elevate his
own importance," Dr. Adams said about his colleague for TMZ, but he
refused to elaborate on his words.
West was brought at Centinela Freeman Regional
Medical Center
in Marina Del Rey, California
in critic state as a hospital spokesperson said: "She was brought by
paramedics to our emergency room on Saturday evening. She was in full arrest
when she arrived. She had a cosmetic surgery, but not at our hospital."
"We tried to resuscitate her, but were unsuccessful," Deborah
Ettinger, a hospital vice president said.
LAPD Lt. Fred Corral stated that Los Angeles Coroner plans to undergo an
autopsy by Wednesday. "We're looking at possible complications of surgery,"
he said.
According to the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, death from
cosmetic surgery is relatively rare. Just one case of 51,459 surgeries is
likely to happen.
According to reports, the 30-year-old rapper had just landed in London when the news struck him, and he immediately flew
back to Los Angeles
to be with her fellow family members.
Kanye's writing partner Rhymefest expressed his regret towards Donda West's
death Sunday in an appearance on Chicago
radio station WCGI.
"She was everyone's mom," Rhymefest said. "A spirit never dies,
a spirit lasts forever."
