Lisa Marie Presley has died of a small bowel obstruction related to weight loss surgery she had years earlier. This was announced on Thursday (July 13) by a California coroner.
Elvis Presley’s only daughter passed away on January 12 at the age of 54, just hours after being rushed to a Los Angeles hospital with an apparent cardiac arrest.
The report of the forensic doctor entrusted with the task, Dr. Juan M. Carrillo from Los Angeles now that the singer died of natural causes. External influences or self-inflicted injuries can be ruled out.
According to the report, according to “CNN”, the obstruction of the small intestine is a frequent consequence of such operations. Adhesions after the procedure then caused the unpleasant and dangerous complication after a so-called bariatric surgery.
Several substances have been found in Lisa Marie Presley’s blood
The toxicology results of the autopsy also revealed a significant amount of oxycodone levels in Presley’s blood. In addition, metabolites of quetapine, which can be used to treat depression, schizophrenia or manic episodes, and buprenorphine, which can be used to treat opioid dependence, have been identified. Shortly after the musician’s death, there were first indications of increased medication intake.
According to the report, Presley suddenly became worse after previously complaining of stomach pains and was eventually rushed to a city hospital by paramedics. She was buried on January 22 at Graceland, where she lived as a child and which is now a rock worshiper’s pilgrimage site and museum.
