Lisa Marie Presley died at age 54 on Jan. 12 following a medical emergency that required hospitalization, her mother Priscilla Presley previously shared.
Now, her cause of death has been revealed as complications resulting from small bowel obstruction, according to records from the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner reviewed.
Small bowel obstructions are blockages in the small intestine that can be caused by numerous factors including hernias, inflammatory disease or tumours, per the Cleveland Clinic.

In Lisa Marie’s case, she suffered from “a strangulated small bowel” that was caused by “adhesions” that developed after she had bariatric surgery, a type of weight loss surgery that changes the digestive system, that was done years ago, according to an autopsy report obtained by NBC News on July 13. It stated that the medical issue is a known complication of the surgery.
Lisa Marie’s cause of death has been ruled as natural
On Jan. 12, Priscilla, 77, released a statement saying her daughter had been hospitalized and, hours later, shared news of Lisa Marie’s death.
“It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” she told People Jan. 12. “She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers.”
Earlier in the day, a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson told Entertainment Tonight that she suffered a cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas.

However, the medical examiner did not list any secondary factors and attributed her cause of death to sequelae of small bowel obstruction.
The “Over Me” singer—born in Memphis in 1968, nine months after her parents’ wedding—led a life of love and loss. Lisa Marie was just 9 years when The King of Rock and Roll died suddenly in 1977, following an apparent heart attack at age 42.
