Kanye West's mother Donda died of complications related to a surgical procedure, preliminary information suggests.

An autopsy is scheduled for this week, Lt. Fred Corral tells Usmagazine.com.

He says her body will arrive tonight from Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center's Marina Del Rey Campus in California, where she died at age 58 at 8:29 p.m. Saturday.

"We will be conducting an autopsy this week to determine why she died following complications from surgery," Corral says. "We are assigning an investigator at this time."

Debra Ettinger, Vice President of Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center's Marina Del Rey Campus, tells Usmagazine.com there were more than six family members in the emergency room after Donda was admitted.

Ettinger says Donda was brought to the emergency room from her L.A. home, not from a different hospital or doctor's office

"We would like to clarify she did not have any surgeries or procedures done at our facilities," Ettinger says.

"We cannot disclose the cause of death; the family members will not allow us at this time," she says. "Donda West arrived to the emergency room on Saturday night. We tried our best to resuscitate her and were unsuccessful."
