Lisa Marie Presley Cause Of Death Revealed

In January, Lisa Marie Presley – daughter of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley – passed away at the age of 54. She died of complications from a small bowel obstruction, TMZ reported based on the LA County Coroner’s Office report.

At 4 pm PT (9 am AEST today), the toxicology report findings were released, which found “therapeutic levels of Oxycodone” in Presley’s blood. Another opioid, Buprenorphine, was found in her blood, which typically treats opioid overuse.

The toxicology report also found traces of Quetiapine, an antipsychotic drug. The small bowel obstruction was caused by adhesions that appeared following Presley’s previous gastric bypass surgery. No drugs were found in her home when she was initially rushed to the hospital, and her urine toxicology screen was negative.

Lisa Marie Presley passed away on 12 January 2023 after being rushed to the hospital from possible cardiac arrest.

TMZ reported that Lisa Marie Presley was admitted to the ICU after suffering cardiac arrest, with sources telling the publication that she was “in an induced coma and in critical condition.”

Presley’s housekeeper found the singer unresponsive in her bedroom, and her ex-husband, Danny Keough, performed CPR until paramedics arrived.

Following Lisa Marie’s passing, Priscilla issued the following statement, “It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us. She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known.”

Lisa Marie Presley attended the Golden Globe Awards on the week of her passing, watching Austin Butler win the Best Actor award for his portrayal of Elvis.

She said about his performance, “I really didn’t know what to do with myself after I saw it. I had to take, like, five days to process it because it was so incredible and so spot on and just so authentic.”
