The Los Angeles County medical examiner’s office has announced that Lisa Marie Presley, the sole child of the rock ‘n’ roll legend Elvis, passed away due to an intestinal obstruction. She underwent weight-loss surgery several years ago, which resulted in adhesions that caused the obstruction.
On January 12, Presley, who was also a vocalist, passed away after being transported to a hospital in California. She was 54 years old. Two days prior to her passing, she made her final public appearance at the Golden Globes.
Local officials reported that first responders had been dispatched to Presley’s residence in Calabasas at the time of her demise, where they discovered her in cardiac arrest.
