New Investigation Into Death of Kanye West's Mother

November 26, 2008


It's one thing after another for Kanye West!

Over a year after the rapper's mother, Dr. Donda West, died from complications following plastic surgery, press reports say an investigation is being launched into the possible role her nephew played in her post-surgery care.

A registered nurse, Stephan Scoggins was supervising his aunt's recovery with her assistant and a friend when, according to reports, he left the house to attend a baby shower. The autopsy report says when Donda started to experience pain, a sore throat and tightening in her chest, she was unable to contact Scoggins and collapsed. The friend at the house called 911, but Donda was pronounced dead at the hospital.

While the blame initially fell on Donda's surgeon, Dr. Jan Adams, a coroner's report cleared him. Now the California Department of Consumer Affairs has reportedly launched an investigation into Scoggins' professional conduct, including whether he gave Donda too much Vicodin, a pain reliever, in too short period of a time.

If it is determined that Scoggins was negligent, he could lose his nursing license.

This has been a difficult year for Kanye, who was rocked by his mother's passing. In April, he broke off his engagement to Alexis Phifer. Since September, he's been arrested twice for run-ins with photographers. He wasn't charged in either incident.

I am sorry Kanye lost his mother, but if she died of complications from plastic surgery it was just her time and God is in control of that not us. Sounds like he needs some counseling instead of more money. He isn't very talented and should count his blessings while he still has them instead of acting like a idiot
-- Blah

I personally donot like kayne west at all but my heart goes out to him and his family I read she was warned not to get the surgery and still went on and did it anyway. she died for the sake of vanity, too many women go under the knife for ridiculous reasons.

The sad reality is that Stephan (the nurse, with the PHD) has caused the death of Mrs. West, and the destruction of Dr. Adams medical practice. Let's see if TMZ and the rest of the media will give air time to Dr. Adams, now that it has been determined that he did nothing wrong. All of this to attend a baby shower?

See.People have money and bad doctors don't mix.USE YOUR BRAIN.

sorry for your lost because to lose a mother is a hard thing to do but with christ in your life you'll be able to deal with it. No one can replace her but you do need real love in your life so wish you the best in finding the special someone who could comfort you.
