As more information begins to arise surrounding the death of Kanye West's mother, Donda — an autopsy conducted Tuesday was inconclusive pending the results of toxicology tests, according to CNN — a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Coroner's office said her death was likely the result of complications from surgery, and many sources have said the surgery was cosmetic.
What is also unclear is whether or not she ignored medical advice in seeking out the surgery.
According to multiple reports, Donda West first consulted with Beverly Hills, California, plastic surgeon Dr. Andre Aboolian to conduct an abdominoplasty (commonly referred to as a "tummy tuck") and breast-reduction operation.
"It's not like she was being vain," Dr. Aboolian told New York's Daily News. "It was heavy on her body."
