Lisa Marie Presley passed away as a result of complications from a small intestinal obstruction. This is the real cause of death of the music legend, revealed 6 months after her passing.

Narcotics In Lisa Marie Presley System?

No narcotics were discovered in her system, according to the report from the LA County Coroner's Office.

Results of toxicology have not yet been made public, as reported by TMZ.

Presley had a cardiac arrest earlier in the day on January 12 and died at the age of 54.

The "Lights Out" singer reportedly received CPR at her Calabasas, California, home from paramedics before they were able to detect a pulse and take her to the West Hills Hospital and Medical Center in Los Angeles. Presley was subsequently said to be in "critical" condition after being placed on life support and put into a medically-induced coma. The LA County Coroner's Office has disclosed the cause of Lisa Marie Presley's demise.

At the time, it was also discovered by Page Six that the singer-songwriter "coded multiple times."

Presley passed away shortly after that. The only child of legendary rocker Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley was reportedly suffering from stomach problems the week before she passed away. Later that evening, she was spotted on the red carpet looking shaky while speaking with "Extra" correspondent Billy Bush.

Riley Keough Paid Tribute to Mom

The "Storm & Grace" singer informed Jerry Schilling, who was sitting next to her during the interview, "I'm gonna grab your arm," as she clasped hers around his. Other than that, there was little evidence Lisa Marie had been having significant health issues. She did, however, finally acknowledge in 2019 that she had a history of drug misuse.

She claimed, in the foreword to Harry Nelson's book "The United States of Opioids: A Prescription for Liberating a Nation in Pain," that the birth of her twin girls, Harper and Finley, in 2008 was the catalyst for her addiction to opioids and painkillers.

Following her Emmy nomination, Riley Keough paid tribute to her late mother Lisa Marie Presley and brother Benjamin Keough. On the anniversary of Benjamin's suicide on July 12, 2020, at the age of 27, the 34-year-old actress posted a lovely picture of the two on Instagram.

On Tuesday, it was also six months after Lisa Marie, 54, had a cardiac arrest in her Calabasas, California, residence. Riley's "missing you both" statement appeared beneath the black-and-white image of a young Benjamin hugging Lisa Marie.
