KANYE WEST - WEST'S MUM WAS 'UNRESPONSIVE' WHEN SHE ARRIVED AT HOSPITAL

KANYE WEST's mother was unresponsive upon arrival at Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center in Marina del Rey, California, according to new information from the hospital. In a media statement released on Tuesday (20Nov07), a hospital spokesman insisted Donda West did not receive the cosmetic surgery, which reportedly caused her death, at the medical centre, but doctors there did try to save her life. Spokeswoman Cyndee Woelfle says, "Dondra (sic) West was transported from her home by ambulance to the emergency room on Saturday, November 10, 2007. She was unresponsive upon arrival at 8.20pm. "The hospital's emergency room physicians attempted to resuscitate her for approximately 10 minutes before pronouncing her dead at approximately 8.30pm. "Prior to her arrival, Ms. West had never been admitted or had undergone any medical procedure at Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center Marina Campus. We extend our condolences to the family and friends of Ms. West during this difficult time." A funeral for the rapper's mother was held in her native Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on Tuesday.
