    No Answers?

    According to IMDB.com, an autopsy was recently performed on Kanye West's mother (Donda West). Unfortunately, the autopsy failed to expose the cause of Ms. West’s death. Reportedly, “experts are now relying on the results of extensive toxicology tests which may be able to provide valuable clues in the investigation into the death of Dr Donda West”. Nonetheless, “Dr. Jan Adams, who performed a tummy tuck and a breast reduction operation on West the day before she died, has denied any responsibility - insisting he has done nothing wrong”. At this time, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Coroner's office revealed that it could take “several weeks before an official conclusion is reached”.

    Kanye's Mom Died!

    According to TMZ, Kanye West’s mom (Donda West) died on 11/10/07 at 7:35 pm. Reportedly, paramedics responded to a 911 call at West’s residence; she was transported to Centinela Freeman Hospital’s ER at 8:00 pm. Apparently, paramedics attempted to resuscitate West. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful and West “was pronounced dead around 8:30 PM that night”.

    West death allegedly may have been the result of complications to plastic surgery. Supposedly, “Dr. Andre Aboolian, was set to perform a tummy tuck and breast reduction on Ms. West, but told her she needed to get clearance from an internist whom Dr. Aboolian recommended. We're told West never went to that doctor, and subsequently had the procedures performed -- but not by Dr. Aboolian”.
