Discovery Health Pulls Plastic Surgery Show Featuring Dr. Jan Adams.

Donda West, 58, died Saturday at a Los Angeles hospital from what the coroner’s office described as “complications of surgery,” but an official cause of death won’t be made for six to eight weeks pending further tests

Dr. Jan Adams hosted “Plastic Surgery” for five years until its final episode, which aired in June. Repeats of the show continued to run, but Adams has not been affiliated with the network since the show’s production ended this year.

Network spokesman Chris Finnegan said the network has decided to remove four episodes of the series scheduled for this week. No decision has been made on whether Discovery Health will resume rerunning the show.

“We’re just trying to be as sensitive as possible to everyone involved,” Finnegan told The Associated Press.
