Kanye West: Cousin May Be to Blame for Mom's Death

It has been a year since rapper Kanye West lost his mother, Donda, 58, from what was believed to be complications while recovering from plastic surgery. Now he's got to deal with even more family drama. California authorities are investigating Kanye's cousin Stephan Scoggins, who is a registered nurse and was supervising his aunt's post-surgery care, reports People.com.

According to her autopsy, Donde West died as the result of multiple post-op factors, including the possibility that Scoggins may have given her too many painkillers in a short period of a time.

Kanye has yet to comment on the current investigation.

Linda: Although it is in God's hands, you are wrong that we don't play a part in life and death. People can definitely shorten their lives by their own actions & no one knows if Donda was saved or not or if she had a close relationship with the Lord. Not being in the will of God can lower the hedge of protection and people blame God for OUR OWN choices then expect God to fix it. Just as we expect to do what we want to do then when it goes wrong have God fix it, the Bible says he is a respector of NO persons. As much as it's sad that Ms. West lost her life over vanity, I hope Kanye is paying attention to GOD and gets his life right!

None of us have the power of life or death in our hands so the RN cousin could not give life or take it away. May Donda rest in the arms of Jesus and may Kanye trust that the Lord does not make any mistakes. We always want to place blame when we lose a love one. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

The investigation has to go on because this cousin was trusthed and is a registered nurse. If there was any wrong doing on her behalf then she should be held accountable for it.
