Donda West's 911 Tape

"Extra" has obtained the 911 call made after Kanye West's mother, Donda, was found unresponsive in her home.

In the tape, an unidentified woman is heard crying, "She's having a heart attack...she complained she couldn't breathe."

As the 911 operator asks questions, the caller pleads for Donda to wake up and says, "We're trying to do CPR on her."

Donda died Nov. 10 following multiple surgeries by Dr. Jan Adams. Adams has maintained that he did nothing wrong.

An autopsy report is pending.

Typical…this is what happens when ignorant, stupid poor folk get money. They surround themselves with hanger-ons who are ignorant and could not save anyone or anything. How stupid these idiots were. THEY killed her as far as i am concerned. Why do they not say…”She just had plastic surgery…” Simple. They keep talking like ghetto nitwits who can not articulate a thought to one another. Shock is no excuse. It is in times of angst that we need to react. Shame on these “caregivers.”

wow. at first I was going to defend these people because I understand being in shock. But there is a difference between being in shock and being completely inept. These people are inept.

okay, first of all, the response time for the ambulance was ridiculous. 8 minutes??? I do have to say though that if that woman would have listened to him, she may have lived. Unbelievable! If they would have done it right and listened to him, I bet she would have lived, she suffocated on her vomit. I do not think that the doctor is to blame.

Yes this was very wrong to post a shame and very heartbreaking,but for the one who called 911,put yourself in her place.you have one not breathing then later one panicing on you, you dont no which way to turn, these r ur love ones your talking about. so with that i can understand some freaking out.you cant think straight right then!!!

It is UNBELIEVABLE how the people in that house reacted, whether you are in shock or not, do something. Did they not understand that a person not breathing is AN EMERGENCY!! How much do you have to freakin’ talk, shut up and listen. It took 8 freakin minutes for the retards at that house to figure it out, the 911 operator repeated himself 3 or 4 times. Maybe she would have lived had they listened in the first two minutes.
This tape is not wrong or disrespectful. They play these tapes all the time why should she be any different, because her son is “Famous” give me a break!

I think that this should be removed from the internet. If this was your family how would you feel if the public would not leave you alone. Also the person on the phone spent a good five minutes not listening to the 911 operator. If they would have listened to the operator then they could have started CPR a lot sooner.

i think that this is very disrespectfull of the family and that it should be removed.. if this was my family memeber i would sue… big time. as far as the idiots that were with her… they coulda saved her if they has pulled thier head outta their asses..

first of it is nones fault that that poor lady died!
and people that were with her, and the girl on the phone were in shock thats why they were so slow…
i mean people are different, they react on things differently, some in this situation will stay calm but some will freak out.
so dont call those people stupid,its noones fault!!

i don’t think anyone deserves to die in a manner other than of natural causes.

so to say someone deserved this is truly sick.

what she did deserve is a nurse and a doctor.


- what?

it’s important to have someone near you who can be calm. There should have been one leader and one person talking to the operator.

they had to take care of the other person having a panic attack before they could deal with Dr. West.

They were supposed to be doing cpr since the conversation started.. putting pillows under her head initially.. (smh) She never told the person performing cpr to pinch her nose, which is why her chest wasn’t rising.


I could fill this wall with “could haves” and “should haves” but she’s dead now and there’s nothing anyone can do. it’s sad when people die when something could have been done to save them.

I can see the positives in any situation.. this message is going to help someone.. whether it’s to learn cpr.. or to be more calm in stressful situations.

peace yall

Listening to the tape and then claiming it is disrespectful is hypocritical. You’re just as disresptful for clicking on the link and listening in.

I don’t think EXTRA is to blame. If people weren’t so wrapped up in gossip and celebrity lives there wouldn’t be gossip channels and websites. EXTRA is just feeding the frenzy.

the good thing that should come of this is, what not to do when you call 911. let it be an example of what happens when you don’t listen.

Oh my god this woman on the phone is ridiculous - what is wrong with her!!! She wasted precious time going “huh” “huh” - ridiculous!

Why in the world did they not have a qualified nurse with her, who are these people at her house that lost so much precious time.
