Lisa Marie Presley died of complications after weight loss surgery, coroner says
The death on January 12 of the heir of Elvis Presley was ruled as being from natural causes due to effects of a small bowel obstruction.
Lisa Marie Presley died of complications from bariatric surgery she had several years ago, authorities have said.
The death on January 12 of the singer, songwriter and heir of Elvis Presley was ruled as being from natural causes due to effects of a small bowel obstruction.
Additional details about what caused the 54-year-old’s death were included in a post-mortem examination report released by the office of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner.
Presley died at a Los Angeles hospital where she had been taken by paramedics responding to an emergency call of a woman in cardiac arrest at her home. No indication was made public at the time of what may have caused the medical issue.
The post-mortem report said she had complained of stomach pain earlier in the day.
She was buried on January 22 at Graceland, the home where she lived with her father as a child, which has become a museum, tourist attraction and shrine for Elvis fans.
Presley left behind three daughters: 34-year-old actress Riley Keough and 15-year-old twins Harper and Finley Lockwood. A son, Benjamin Keough, died in 2020.
But Priscilla Presley and Keough – who is now the sole trustee – agreed a settlement in May.
Keough was nominated for her first Emmy on Wednesday, for best actress in a limited series or TV movie for Daisy Jones & The Six.
