'No sign of misadventure' in West's mother's death
The exact reason for the death of US rapper Kanye West’s mother shortly after plastic surgery could not be determined, but there was no sign of a “surgical or anaesthetic misadventure”, according to a coroner’s report.
Donda West, 58, died on November 10 last year at a Los Angeles hospital, a day after she had breast reduction, a tummy tuck and liposuction procedures.
“It is my opinion Ms West died from some pre-existing coronary artery disease and multiple post-operative factors following surgery,” Dr Louis Pena, a deputy medical examiner, stated in Ms West's lengthy post-mortem report.
“Based on the history and available information, as currently known, the manner of death could not be determined.”
