Kanye West is in mourning, his mother's death remains shrouded in mystery and the doctor who performed her seemingly ill-fated cosmetic surgery is facing intense scrutiny.

Los Angeles coroner's officials completed the autospy of Donda West early Tuesday afternoon, attempting to discern whether the 58-year-old former professor did indeed die of complications from surgery. West had a procedure on Friday and was sent home, rather than to a recovery center. By Saturday evening, she was in cardiac arrest, and despite the efforts of paramedics and emergency room staffers, she was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a hospital.

The autopsy results won't be released for four to six weeks, allowing time for all the toxicology test to come back.

One Beverly Hills plastic surgeon released a statement Monday saying he turned down West's request for surgery due to an undisclosed preexisting condition.

"I always insist on a medical clearance for women over 40, and in this instance, it was particularly important because of a condition she had I felt could have led to a heart attack," said Dr. Andre Aboolian, who began consulting West in June.

"Plastic surgery itself is not dangerous, but patients must always take the necessary precautions to ensure positive results. No surgery should be taken lightly. I am terribly sorry about the passing of Donda West—she was a very sweet woman."

Ultimately, another physician, Dr. Jan Adams, agreed to do the nipping and tucking.

"I want to first express my deepest condolences to the West family at a very difficult time," Adams said in a statement Tuesday.

Records show Adams has had a checkered history that includes malpractice suits, two alcohol-related driving arrests and a recommendation by the Medical Board of California to revoke his license. (View the documents.)

In a complaint filed with the state of California on Apr. 10 by David T. Thornton, the executive director of the Medical Board of California, the body sought to revoke, or at the very least suspend, Adams' medical license following several instances of behavior unbecoming a member of the medical community.

Per the complaint, Thornton cited in detail two separate drunken-driving arrests, both of which Adams pleaded no contest, as well as an additional instance of Adams losing control of his vehicle for a 2002 collision with a parked car.

The more recent DUI bust, which took place on Mar. 31, 2006, Adams allegedly blew a 0.10 blood-alcohol level and was eventually placed on five years' probation and was sentenced to 96 hours in county jail. He was also ordered to attend 60 AA meetings and to enroll in an alcohol and counseling program.

His first arrest, which took place Jan. 16, 2003, resulted in three years' probation and his being barred from driving anywhere but to and from work for 90 days. E! News has learned that Adams was also arrested in 1994 on charges of driving under the influence and having a blood-alcohol level above 0.08 percent, though he was only convicted on the latter charge.

According to Thornton, the charges violate the board's code of conduct, which states that it "shall take action against any licensee who is charged with unprofessional conduct."

Thornton specifically cited the board's policy of licensed medical professionals not consuming drugs or alcoholic beverages "to the extent, or in such a manner as to be dangerous or injurious to the licensee, or to any other person or to the public."

Thornton implored the board to revoke or suspend Adams' license and refuse to let the doctor supervise any of his physician assistants.

According to the Medical Board of California, Adams' past indiscretions don't stop there. Per his profile kept by the board, he has twice been slapped with malpractice judgments.

While details of the individual cases have not been released, in August 2001, Adams was ordered to pay $250,000 to one claimant. Just one month later, Adams lost another case and ordered to pay $217,337. Both cases were adjudicated in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The board, however, stressed in its recording of the judgments that payment for damages "does not necessarily reflect that the physician's medical competence is below the standard of care."

One legal case not cited by the board involved Adams' former girlfriend, who requested a restraining order against him in 2002. "Defendant has an unfortunate drinking problem and, unless restrained immediately, will assert the worst side of his 'Jekyll and Hyde' personality when he is intoxicated," Deborah Pratt said in her court declaration. (View the document.)

Eight additional malpractice lawsuits were filed against Adams following procedures performed over the past two years, with three from patients in Santa Monica, three from patients in Orange County and two from patients hailing from the City of Orange.

One woman claimed Adams and his team not only botched her December 2005 tummy tuck but failed to give proper pre and postoperative care. The suit also alleges Adams falsely represented himself as a board-certified plastic surgeon.

The other suit was filed by a patient over breast surgery in August 2005. The plaintiff asserted she was not properly informed of the doctor's malpractice history and that following the procedure, she suffered from fluid collection and had her implants removed.

In three of the more recent suits, all filed by Orange County patients in June and October of this year, Adams was alleged to have botched breast implant surgery, liposuction, negligence and faulty pre- and post-operative care. One woman claimed she nearly bled to death following breast surgery, while another claimed battery. (View the three malpractice suits.)

No specific allegations have surfaced against Adams for his operation on Donda West.

"As a medical director practicing in this field, I hold sacred the bond of confidentiality that exists between a patient and doctor," West added in his statetment Tuesday.

"Out of respect for the West family and the absence of verifiable information any comment without having first discussing that information with the family would be unprofessional."

Still, the "sacred bond of confidentiality" didn't keep Adams from speaking to TMZ late Monday, when he confirmed he performed a tummy tuck and breast reduction on the woman and said nothing was amiss during the eight-hour procedure.

Adams also discounted Abolian's statement, telling TMZ that his rival "is sleazy and manipulating the truth to elevate his own importance."

Kanye West's publicist said the whole family "would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and kind words that have come in from across the country." Funeral arrangements are pending.

The rapper was scheduled to perform at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show scheduled to tape Thursday and air Dec. 4 on CBS. Neither he nor the lingerie purveyor has said whether he will perform.
