LOS ANGELES (NEWSnet/AP) — Lisa Marie Presley’s death was due to complications related to bariatric surgery she underwent several years ago, authorities said Thursday.

Prelsey, singer, songwriter and heir of Elvis Presley, died Jan. 12, 2023, at age 54. Here death  was ruled as being from natural causes due to effects of a small bowel obstruction.

Additional details about what caused Presley's death were included in an autopsy report released by the office of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner.

The report says the complication that Presley experienced is common with bariatric surgery, which is a weight-loss procedure. Mayo Clinic says it often is done when other weight-reduction methods haven't worked or if a person has a major medical condition.

Presley died at a Los Angeles hospital, following a 911 call regarding a cardiac arrest. No indication was made public at the time of what may have caused the medical issue. The autopsy report said she had been complaining of stomach pain earlier that day.
