Mia Amber Davis' family was left stunned by her death last Wednesday, May 11, but has recently got a clue on what may have caused her sudden and mysterious passing following a knee surgery. Dr. Mignon R. Moore, a cousin to the late plus-sized model, has told E! News that the 36-year-old died from a blood clot.
Mignon claimed that the coroner has informed Mia's husband Michael Yard about the preliminary finding on Wednesday night. "Nothing has been confirmed but the coroner did tell us that he thinks Mia died from a blood clot related to the knee surgery," she said. "We are just now finding this out that this is all too common and people don't know the risks of arthroscopic surgery. They need to be made aware of the risks."
The "Road Trip" actress' cause of death won't be official for several weeks, pending the toxicology tests results.
