Kanye West’s mother Donda West, who died suddenly last weekend, most likely died due to complications from multiple cosmetic surgeries.

There are reports that one of the procedures was liposuction.

Dr. Donda West was at her home in Los Angeles when 911 was called. Paramedics responded at approximately 7:30pm Saturday night and took West to Centinela Freeman Hospital in Marina del Rey. She passed away later that night.

It’s being reported that just weeks before Donda died, a plastic surgeon refused to perform procedures on her because of a medical condition that increased chances of a heart attack.

Beverly Hills doctor Dr. Andre Aboolian claims to have almost performed a tummy tuck and breast reduction on West, but says he recommend she get the ok from an internist first. He stated she never went to the specialist, instead she simply went to another doctor.

That physician, Dr. Jan Adams, told TMZ that he was the doctor who performed the surgeries on Donda. Dr. Adams said her death was unexpected and may have been caused by a “heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or massive vomiting.” He says she changed her mind about the surgeries repeatedly. Sometimes wanting to go forward with it and sometimes backing out.

Dr. Adams was Donde’s doctor for four months.

He also says that Dr. Aboolian “is sleazy and manipulating the truth to elevate his own importance.” (I take that as he doesn’t think Dr. Aboolian ever saw Donde as a patient? Hmmm..)

In the meantime, Kanye West’s family has released a statement to the media,

“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, Dr. Donda West.

After working in higher education for 31 years, Dr. Donda West and Kanye West co-founded the Kanye West Foundation with the mission of helping to combat the severe dropout problem in high schools across the country. The first and signature initiative of the Kanye West Foundation is Loop Dreams. Designed to capitalize on students existing interest in hip-hop, Loop Dreams challenges students to learn more about what’s behind hip-hop culture in order to help them develop skills, express themselves creatively and be empowered.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Dr. West’s name to the Kanye West Foundation/Loop Dreams Teacher Training Institute. Those donations can be made by visiting the Foundation’s Web site, www.KanyeWestFoundation.org or by mail at Kanye West Foundation, 8560 W. Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90069.

Details of funeral services are still pending.”

My Hollywood insider says that Dr. Jan is a regular at the Four Seasons Hotel. He always drinks Heinekins. And lots of them. She says when he is sober he is a decent guy, but after 7 or 8 Heine’s he would get “mean as a snake”.

He also likes to hit on female staff members. And he “never rolled with anyone, he was always alone.”
