From Huffington Post:

Mia Amber Davis, the plus-size model and “Road Trip” actress who unexpectedly passed away during routine knee surgery in May, died from a blood clot in her lungs, E! Online reports.

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office released an updated death certificate after an autopsy and a series of toxicology tests were performed, finding that Davis had a pulmonary thrombo-embolism.

According to TMZ.com, Davis’ husband Michael Yard believes that the surgery was responsible for the blood clot, claiming Davis was healthy before arriving at the hospital. The site explains, he “asked the Coroner’s Officer if it meant she died as a result of the surgery…but the office said they could not give a definitive answer.”
