Lisa Marie Presley’s official cause of death has been revealed.

Lisa Marie, the sole daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, passed away due to complications arising from small bowel obstruction, as confirmed by the autopsy report received by We on Thursday, July 13. According to the report, the obstruction was a result of adhesions formed after undergoing bariatric surgery several years ago, leading to a strangulated small bowel. The report quotes the deputy medical examiner, Juan M. Carillo, providing this information.

The summary indicates that Lisa Marie experienced abdominal pain prior to losing consciousness and being hurried to the hospital. During her time there, medical professionals discovered that she had a significantly swollen abdomen and severe metabolic acidosis.

According to the autopsy report, Lisa Marie had therapeutic amounts of oxycodone in her bloodstream, as well as quetiapine metabolite and buprenorphine with associated metabolites. However, these substances were determined to have no role in her death. Consequently, Lisa Marie's passing was classified as natural.

With deep sorrow, I regret to inform you that my beloved daughter Lisa Marie has passed away," Priscilla, 78, communicated in a statement to People. "She exemplified remarkable strength, love, and passion. We kindly request privacy as we navigate through this immense loss. Thank you for your love and prayers. There will be no additional comments at this time."

Priscilla's statement was released shortly after Us magazine confirmed that the artist of "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" had been urgently taken to the hospital due to cardiac arrest. TMZ reported that Lisa Marie received CPR from paramedics before being transported to the emergency room.

The singer-songwriter and her mother accompanied Butler, 31, to the 2023 Golden Globe Awards, where he received the Best Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama award for his portrayal of the iconic Elvis in the 2022 biopic. Expressing his gratitude during his acceptance speech on Tuesday, January 10 at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, Butler extended his thanks to Lisa Marie and Priscilla.

"Appreciation goes out to the Presleys for their warm welcome, their personal stories, and their hospitality," expressed the former cast member of The Carrie Diaries before taking the stage to address them directly. "Lisa Marie, Priscilla, my love for you is eternal."

Lisa Marie and Priscilla, who was married to the legendary "Hound Dog" singer from 1967 to 1973, have diligently preserved Elvis' legacy over the years. They have also approved Baz Luhrmann's biopic depicting the life of this iconic rockstar.

Lisa Marie, speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the Globes red carpet, expressed her struggle to find words to express her feelings after watching the movie. The impact was so profound and genuine that she needed five days to process it. She described it as incredible, spot on, and authentic, but couldn't fully articulate its significance.

Lisa Marie, known for her song "Storm & Grace," leaves behind her children Riley Keough, aged 34, from her previous marriage with Danny Keough, as well as her 14-year-old twin daughters Harper and Finley, from her previous marriage with Michael Lockwood. Sadly, her son Benjamin Keough, from her marriage to Danny, tragically passed away by suicide in 2020 at the age of 27.

After Lisa Marie passed away, Riley and Priscilla found themselves in a contentious legal dispute regarding the late musician's trust. The trust had designated the actress from Daisy Jones and the Six as the sole trustee. In May, their case was resolved, with Riley successfully obtaining her position as the sole trustee. According to a source, Riley and Priscilla have now found peace in their relationship following the highly stressful ordeal involving Lisa Marie's trust and estate. Despite the back and forth, they were able to reach a compromise that satisfies them both.

As part of the settlement, Riley will pay her grandmother a $1 million lump sum as well as $400,000 in legal fees, per documents obtained by the New York Times in June.
