It has been confirmed that Dr. Donda West, mother of rap superstar Kanye West, died from "complications due to plastic surgery."

As days have passed and as more and more information has emerged as well as speculation, it is being reported that Dr. West had known medical issues, possibly a thyroid and/or heart condition, and was reportedly turned away by another plastic surgeon because he wanted her to get clearance from her internist, which she allegedly did not.

West instead went to Dr. Jan Adams, who briefly hosted TV show, 'The Other Half' and a Discovery Channel health program, for a tummy tuck and breast reduction. Adams paid two patients almost $500,000 to settle two malpractice suits in 2001.

According to TMZ.com, Donda West's operation lasted eight hours -- twice as long as it should have. In addition, instead of sending Ms. West to a recovery center, she was sent home, where she died a day after her surgery, and before paramedics arrived.

As it turns out, not only is Dr. Adams not Board Certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery, but he currently has a bevy of open malpractice suits, including allegations of sexual battery and physical assault, DUI convictions and pending disciplinary action from the California Medical Board.

In an initial statement Adams said that West's death was "unforeseen and could have been caused by a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or massive vomiting."

An autopsy performed on November 13 will officially determine Dr. Donda West's cause of death. Funeral arrangements are reportedly scheduled for Tuesday, November 20 in Oklahoma.
