According to a report from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner on Thursday, Lisa Marie Presley's death in January at the age of 54 was caused by a small bowel obstruction — concluding that she died from natural causes. Per reporting from TMZ, the obstruction was caused by "adhesions that developed during bariatric surgery (gastric bypass) years ago. This is a known long term complication of this type of surgery."
Presley's autopsy indicates that she "complained of abdominal pain on the morning of her death," and was later taken from her home in Calabasas, California to a nearby hospital, suffering cardiac arrest.
