Two months after declaring plastic surgeon Jan Adams a "butcher" when his patient and Kanye West's mother, Donda West, died following a procedure, TMZ was today forced to print this:

The coroner says several things could have played a role in [Donda West's] death, but they could not say for sure what exactly killed her, adding there was no evidence that anesthesia — or even the surgery — caused or contributed to her death.

Besides publicly questioning his professional capabilities, TMZ also used their site to accuse Adams of being a sexual predator and a domestic abuser, and then they publicized his DUI arrest.

Now that he's been exonerated, in their one post on the matter (there were at least 10 degrading him), TMZ said only of Adams: "We've reported extensively that Donda West had cosmetic surgery the day before her death — performed by Dr. Jan Adams, who was not board certified in plastic surgery."

So, they shoot first and don't even ask questions later.

Embroiled surgeon Jan Adams walked off the set of Larry King Live yesterday after telling King, "I had come here to talk about things in the press that aren't accurate about me. But I have a tremendous amount of love and respect for the West family and they've asked me not to go on."

As Adams ambles off, look for a sneer of disgust that could only be summoned by the simultaneously bony and fleshy proportions of Larry King's 3,000,000-year-old visage.

On Dr Jan Adams, the surgeon behind Donda West's fatal surgery:

• His surgical practice was in a strip mall, directly above a Quizno's!

• One patient claims he left a sponge in her breast, causing a loss of nipple sensitivity!

• Adams' girlfriend filed for a restraining order five years ago!

• Yikes: "In another stunning lawsuit, a patient of Dr. Jan Adams claims he got her drunk after surgery, had intercourse with her and got her pregnant."

• "Patient to Dr. Adams — You Ruined My Life"!

We think he knows how you feel, Patient!

The restraining order from 2002 was a nice find, guys.

The surgeon who performed Donda West's ultimately fatal tummy tuck and breast reduction surgery, Dr. Jan Adams, says that West's death "was unforeseen and could have been caused by a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or massive vomiting." Or car accident judging by the variety of those guesses. Also! "Dr. Adams says he did nothing wrong." But of course, Jan.
