Death of Lisa-Marie Presley at 54: the causes of her death finally revealed six months later

On January 12, 2023, Lisa-Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis Presley, died at the age of 54 after suffering a cardiac arrest. She had been found unresponsive in her home in Los Angeles, when she had just made a public appearance at the Golden Globes where she awarded Austin Butler in the Best Actor category for his role in the biopic Elvis. His behavior during this evening (incoherent remarks, lack of confidence and constant need for physical support) had worried many Internet users.

This Friday, July 14, 2023, six months after the tragedy, TMZ has just revealed the true causes of his death. According to our American colleagues, who rely on a report by a medical examiner, the famous interpreter ofSilly died of complications related to small bowel obstruction.

Certainly, “therapeutic” traces of opioids were found in his body, such as oxycodone and buprenorphine, as well as quetiapine, an antipsychotic intended to treat psychiatric disorders and illnesses. It is also stated that she had a tendency to overmedicate herself, forgetting that she had taken her medication only to take it again.

On the other hand, it was not the taking of these drugs that caused the obstruction of his intestine but the consequences of a bariatric surgery operation, aimed at promoting weight loss. An operation following which she was prescribed opioids. His urine tests showed no signs of taking narcotics. No narcotics or drug-taking equipment was found at his home. Death was therefore defined as natural.

Great tensions

Remember that since his death, tensions have accumulated within the Presley family. In particular about the custody of Lisa-Marie’s twins, Harper and Finley, born on October 7, 2008 from her relationship with guitarist Michael Lockwood. If the latter is the father of the twins, it is Danny Keough, the father of the first two children of Lisa-Marie Presley (Benjamin, who committed suicide, and Riley, note), who raised them.

Another point of contention, the legacy of Lisa-Marie Presley. Last March, the DailyMail explained that her mother Priscilla Presley was “kicked out” of the famous family residence Graceland by her granddaughter Riley after she challenged her daughter’s will, according to family insiders. They have since come to an agreement. According EntertainmentTonightwho has read legal documents filed Monday, June 12 in the court of Los Angeles, Riley Keough becomes the sole trustee of the inheritance of his mother.
