Lisa Marie Presley’s Death Connected To Weight Loss Surgery

Lisa Marie Presley, the singer-songwriter and only child of rock and roll legend Elvis Presley, died of a bowel obstruction induced by a previous weight loss procedure, as determined by medical examiners.

Presley, who lived in the spreading shadow of her world-famous father, died in January at the age of 54 after being found dead in her house and brought to the hospital.

“Her cause of death was revealed to be a small bowel obstruction caused by scar tissue that developed after a previous bariatric surgery years ago. The manner of death was natural”, the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner said in a statement Thursday.

Bariatric surgery is a stomach-shrinking bypass treatment performed on people who desire to shed a lot of weight.

According to the medical examiner, Presley was discovered by her ex-husband on January 12 and pronounced dead later that afternoon.

Danny Keough, her ex-husband, lived in her home in the celebrity-studded Los Angeles enclave of Calabasas. He gave her CPR until paramedics arrived and took her to the hospital, where she was placed in an induced coma on life support until passing away.

Presley had been married to Nicolas Cage, Michael Jackson, and actor-composer Michael Lockwood in addition to Keough, whom she divorced in 1994.

Elvis’ only child was Lisa Marie. She once owned Elvis Presley Enterprises, but she sold the majority of her shares to a private equity firm in 2005.

She kept ownership of Graceland, her father’s mansion where he was discovered unconscious in August 1977.

Following a disagreement over an amendment deleting her from her daughter’s will, Elvis’ widow, Priscilla Presley, struck an agreement in May.

Lisa Marie Presley was survived by her mother, her daughter Riley Keough, who appeared in ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’, and her teenage twin daughters Harper and Finley. Benjamin Keough, her son, committed suicide in 2020.
