A friend at the house calls 911 and West is taken to the hospital, where she is pronounced dead in the emergency room. West dies at 58 years old at the Centinela Freeman hospital. Her doctor:
She was interested in some cosmetic procedures and we had discussed that in order for her to go through with the procedures, which she was a good candidate for, she needed what’s called a medical clearance, which just about anybody over the age of 40 is required to have. Because of Donda’s age, she was required to get some cardiac clearance to make sure her heart is in good shape to go through for the surgery.
