The L.A. County Coroner confirms to TMZ that they are investigating the death of Donda West due to possible complications from cosmetic surgery.

They will be performing an autopsy this week.

We're also told West, who was 58, died at Centinela Hospital in Marina del Rey.

5. And the moral of the story is....JUST SAY NO TO COSMETIC SURGERY....stay natural.

6. Did they not do the appropriate medical research or interview before surgery.

Did she fail to state her medical history or illnesses.

This has the makings of a multi million dollar damage award if there was in fact negligence
