Her cause of death was revealed in the summer (Getty Images for Icelandic Glaci)Lisa's bowel obstruction was a result of adhesions caused by weight-loss surgery that she had undergone several years ago. But although the coroner reported that the bowel obstruction was likely the result of a complication from weight-loss surgery, there may have been something more at play.
Although bowel obstruction is a common issue, the weight-loss procedure had happened years prior, and Lisa may, additionally, struggled with a hereditary issue.
Back in August, a month after the coroner's report was released, Elvis historian, Sally Hoedel, toldThe Sun: "Lisa Marie suffered from digestive/bowel disorder her entire life. She referred to it as a 'chronic Presley problem' and stated that it went back to childhood for her."

Although some of the medication he was taking would have further slowed his digestive system, it did not initially cause the problem. There is testimony to it being a problem for Elvis as a toddler and a teen, long before fame and prescription medication. This was also true for Lisa Marie, as her own testimony attests to it being known since childhood."
When Lisa's death was announced, her mother Priscilla released a statement which read : "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. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment."
