5. Kanye and apparently the rest of his family thought they were untouchable... it is unfortunate that something so senseless had to occur. Hopefully it will ground Kanye. Don't let your mother's death be in Vain!

6. RIP Dr. West. You were a bright star in not only Chicago, but across the world. My thoughts are with the family.

7. Someone is going to pay.
I think the face of the doc/butcher that did this needs to be plastered across TMZ.

Also you would think she was smart enough to know she needed to get the clearance she was advised to get before having elective surgery.......sad sad sad

9. Who cares. Obviously she was warned and did it anyway. Sad, but that's what happens when you don't listen to the professionals. It's her own fault. Sorry!

10. I hope they don't start trying to blame people and stir up trouble.

11. I absolutely agree that she should NEVER have proceeded with the surgery without clearance from someone who had her best interests at heart, and BELIEVE ME, I think that was the stupidest waste of a human life, but what about the IDIOT who decided her health risks just weren't that important to consider when performing a surgery?

13. I cant believe what I am reading, she did not O.D. on KFC, that was very ignorant and I will pray for your forgiveness, God dont like ugly!!! There are some rude and insensitive baztards posting comments on her untimely death. How would you like it if someone was making these types of statements about your mother? Cause of death is not relevant in a time of mourning; let Kanye mourn his mothers death and you guys need to shut up and have a heart. You make me ashamed to be an american!!! Insensitive, calice, evil doers!!!! May God forgive you for your cold and ignorant statements!!!

14. I wonder if Kanye will praise the lord like he normally does. God says NO to cosmetic surgery. While he was flashing his richness, she passed away.

Posted at 4:45PM on Nov 12th 2007 by praise the lord

15. How tragic and very sad, I hope she didn't suffer.

In the midst of all the silly and crazy postings that are going on here, we should take time to think about how devasted we would be, if this was to happen in our family.

Take time out of your day and call up your family members and tell them how much you love them and are thinking of them.

You might be glad you did.

God bless the West family in their time of sorrow.
