Lisa Marie Presley died from complications from bariatric surgery she had several years ago, authorities say.
The January 12 death at age 54 of the singer, songwriter and heir of Elvis Presley 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 today by the office of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner.
The report says the complication that Presley experienced is a common complication from bariatric surgery, which is a weight loss procedure. The Mayo Clinic says it is often done when other weight loss methods haven’t worked or if a person has a serious medical condition.
