AceShowbiz - The toxicology reports on the death of Kanye West's mother, Donda West, had been completed. It was ruled that she died of "coronary artery disease and multiple post-operative factors due to or as a consequence of liposuction and mammoplasty."
In the report they issued Thursday, January 10, the Los Angeles County Coroner however said that an autopsy failed to determine the exact role those factors; coronary artery disease and multiple post-operative factors, played in Donda's sudden death last November following liposuction and breast-reduction surgery.
The final manner of Donda's death "could not be determined," the coroner's report stated. The report, moreover, indicated that several things could possibly play a role in her death, but officials could not say for sure what exactly killed her, adding there was no evidence that anesthesia, or even the surgery, caused or contributed to her death as early speculation had suggested before.
Dr. Donda West, who was the former chairwoman of Chicago State University's English department, passed away in Los Angeles on November 10, just one day after she had a cosmetic surgery involving breast reduction, "tummy tuck" and liposuction. She was 58. At the time her death, preliminary indication suggested that she died of cosmetic surgical complications.
Donda's family, according to TMZ, had been told of the results, but not yet issued a word on that matter.
