The medical examiner's office stated that Lisa Marie Presley's cardiac arrest, which led to her death, was caused by a "small bowel obstruction." This condition occurs when the small intestine becomes blocked, potentially due to factors such as colon cancer, medication, or adhesions resulting from surgeries. In Presley's case, the report revealed that the glueing and 'adhesion' was a natural consequence of the bariatric surgery she had undergone years earlier. The report emphasized that this type of painful complication is a known long-term risk of such surgery.
The emergency room physician, Dr Angelique Campe, has highlighted that deaths resulting from small bowel obstructions are unusual, as patients generally undergo substantial pain and would likely be admitted to the hospital. Lisa Marie Presley's burial happened right next to her son Benjamin Keough, who tragically died by suicide in 2020. The legal dispute over Presley's will got finally resolved in May. Lisa Marie Presley, born in 1968, had a successful music career, releasing three albums, and was known for her high-profile marriages to Danny Keough, Michael Jackson, Nicolas Cage, and Michael Lockwood.
The importance and authority over the will of Lisa Marie Presley got contested by her family members. Following her death, it got revealed that Lisa's will had undergone a legal challenge, with Presley's mother, Priscilla Presley, arguing that she was oblivious of a 2016 amendment that removed her as a trustee overseeing Lisa Marie's estate.
