Lisa Marie Presley died due to a small bowel obstruction, according to the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s office.
“Cause A” on the report was listed as a “sequale of small bowel obstruction.”
“Cause D” also listed “other significant conditions.” Her manner of death was listed as “natural.”
Presley died Jan. 12 at the age of 54.
The autopsy report said she had been complaining of stomach pain earlier in the day. Presley experienced a common complication from a bariatric surgery procedure she had years ago.
The Mayo Clinic says it is often done when other weight loss methods haven’t worked or if a person has a serious medical condition.
In January, Presley had been “transported” to a hospital after sheriff’s deputies responded to a “not breathing call” at her home in Calabasas, authorities confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time.
Lieutenant Zeko of the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Department confirmed officers responded to a call “for a female adult who was not breathing, and the fire department began rendering aid to the patient, and they transported her to a local hospital.”
Presley, a singer-songwriter, was the only daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley. She also had a half brother, Navarone Garibaldi, from Priscilla’s 20-year relationship with Marco Garibaldi.
Priscilla, and Lisa Marie’s oldest daughter Riley Keough, reached a settlement in Lisa Marie’s estate in May. Keough, 33, was named as the beneficiary of the estate.
“My family has resolved all confusion as it relates to our plea to the court and request for document interpretation after my daughter Lisa Marie’s untimely passing,” Priscilla’s representatives told Fox News Digital in a statement.
“Although the media identified such a plea as a lawsuit, I want to make clear that there was never any lawsuit filed against my beloved granddaughter. As a family, we are pleased that we resolved this together.”
Priscilla, 77, had challenged an amendment allegedly made by Lisa Marie in 2016 that replaced her business manager and mother as beneficiaries with her oldest children, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Priscilla added, “My family and I hope that everyone will grant us the privacy we have needed to properly grieve Lisa Marie and spend personal time together. We love and appreciate all of you and the Presley family is stronger than ever.”
Lisa Marie’s son, Benjamin Keough, died by suicide in 2020, making Riley the sole beneficiary.
Details about the document were not disclosed in court and neither were the terms of the settlement, the Los Angeles Times reported.
In addition to her daughter, Riley, Lisa Marie is survived by twins Harper and Finley.
The twins’ father, Michael Lockwood, was recently named their official guardian. Lisa Marie and Michael were married for 11 years before their divorce was finalized in 2021.
Lisa Marie was buried next to her son and her famous father at Graceland, the family estate in Memphis, Tennessee.
