No clear cause for death of rapper Kanye West’s mother

LOS ANGELES — Donda West, Kanye West’s mother, died of heart disease and “multiple postoperative factors” after plastic surgery, a deputy medical examiner said Thursday.

But a coroner’s report said the exact contribution these factors could have played in West’s death after breast reduction, tummy tuck and liposuction procedures couldn’t be determined.

The investigation found “therapeutic levels of medication” but no unusually high levels and no internal bleeding.”

West, 58, died Nov. 10 at a Los Angeles-area hospital, a day after her surgery.

“It is my opinion Ms. West died from some pre-existing coronary artery disease and multiple postoperative factors,” Dr. Louis Pena, a deputy medical examiner, stated in the lengthy autopsy report.

“Based on the history and available information, as currently known, the manner of death could not be determined,” Pena said.

The coroner’s office had said early indications suggested West died from surgical complications.
