Kanye's mother, Donda West, died on Nov. 10, 2007 after undergoing plastic surgery procedures performed by Jan Adams.
A final autopsy released in January 2008 by Deputy Medical Examiner Dr. Luis Pena of the LA County Coroner said that Donda 'died from some pre-existing coronary artery disease and multiple post-operative factors following surgery.'

'A statement released by the coroner's office said: 'There was no evidence of surgical or anesthetic misadventure,'' Reuters reported.
'Wes' then responded to Kanye, 'I think it's exactly what you should use. Love love love love. I'm so tired of saying and thinking the word hate.
'It's wild man. After the night I came by your house and talked I've been forgetting and forgiving and only thinking about loving people. That was an important talk for me.'

The Good Life rapper dropped some new music on Friday — and it was all about how to pick it back up.
He tweeted a link to Kanywest.com, which contained a sample of a new track called Lift Yourself Master.
Whether the song is destined to be part of his upcoming albums, or he was just trolling fans and followers, remains to be seen.

The clip starts off with a catchy, classic-Kanye soulful sample of female vocals singing: 'Hard to see the hang-ups we have today / We need to strive for more liberty.'
Shortly into the new song, Kanye breaks out into wordy, scat-sounding lyrics.
He hinted earlier on Twitter that he might unveil the new music in response to criticism he has received for his newly re-found love for President Trump.
'I'm going to drop a song with a verse that will bring Ebro the closure he's been seeking,' he forewarned, boasting 'The bars' were no fewer than 35 flame emojis.
Heads up: He hinted earlier on Twitter that he might unveil the new music in response to criticism he has received for his newly re-found love for President Trump.
The Ebro he was referring to was New York's Hot 97 host Ebro Darden, who had earlier accused Kanye of being 'out of touch'.
'A lot of people are not happy that he's playing around with things that are very dangerous for the sake of promoting his own agenda,' Darden told ABC Radio's podcast Start Here, 'which is his album, and himself, and potentially his own political aspiration.'
On Tuesday, Kanye had called into Darden's radio show to repeatedly tell him he loved him, even singing Stevie Wonder's I Just Called To Say I Love You.
After Kanye released the song, Ebro himself tweeted, 'We already knew you was #TrollYeWest.'
The Gold Digger hitmaker, who is no stranger to controversy, burst back onto the trending lists again last week when he suddenly professed his support of Donald Trump in a series of bizarre typically tweets, after a long social media hiatus.

Coincidentally he had announced a new book and two new albums on Twitter just days beforehand.
Despite insisting he is not partisan or even political, Kanye has previously met with the President and has recently been proudly showing off his Make America Great Again baseball cap.
Trump publicly thanked Kanye for his support on Friday: 'Kanye West has performed a great service to the Black Community - Big things are happening and eyes are being opened for the first time in Decades - Legacy Stuff!' he tweeted.
