The esteemed rapper Kanye West has recently faced perhaps one of the greatest tragedies of his life. The rappers 58 year old mother, Donda West died of heart complication after undergoing cosmetic surgery.
She was rushed to Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center by paramedics after her breathing ceased. The hospital vice president Deborah Ettinger said that they tried to resuscitate her but the efforts ended up hapless.
Dr. Jan Adams said that he performed a tummy tuck and a breast reduction on Donda and that she had been consulting him over a period of four months about the surgery. Another doctor, Dr. Aboolian says that she approached him inquiring about cosmetic surgery a couple of months ago.
He was worried about a condition she had that may have caused a heart attack during surgery. Aboolians publicist was quoted as saying,"Dr. Aboolian simply said that in order for him to be comfortable, he felt it necessary to have a medical clearance before he'd touch her."
It has been said that Donda had a close bond with her son and was often by his side at special events and award ceremonies. Kanye often rapped about the relationship him and his mother shared.
Kanyes publicist stated that, "Kanye West, his family and friends would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and kind words that have come in from across the country since the death of his mother."
That's so sad. It's even sadder if her death was directly caused by the operation, because she didn't need it.
