, the only child of rock 'n' roll icon Elvis Presley, died of small bowel obstruction, the Los Angeles County medical examiner's office ruled.
Presley died Jan. 12 after she was rushed to the hospital in Southern California, according to her mother, who announced her death later that day. She was 54. The cause of death was stated as"sequelae," or aftereffect,"of small bowel obstruction." No additional causes or significant conditions were listed.An autopsy report obtained Thursday by NBC News said the obstruction was"in the form of a strangulated small bowel caused by adhesions that developed after bariatric surgery years ago." The issue is a known longterm complication of that type of surgery, the report said.
Presley also had “therapeutic levels” of the pain reliever oxycodone and trace amounts of other substances in her blood, which did not contribute to her death, the report said. Presley had complained about abdominal pain in the months before her death, and she was found unresponsive at her home the morning before, according to the autopsy report and a coroner investigator's narrative.
