The official cause of death for the late Lisa Marie Presley has been determined by the L.A. County Coroner.
The entertainment world was left in shock as 54-year-old Lisa Marie, the sole child of the legendary Elvis Presley, and his wife, Priscilla Presley, tragically passed away on January 12.
She died just two days after her high-profile appearance at the Golden Globe Awards.
According to TMZ, Lisa Marie was reportedly on a rigorous weight loss regime at the time of her death, driven by a desire to look her best at a series of forthcoming award ceremonies in honor of the Elvis biopic.
Inside sources divulged to the outlet that Lisa Marie underwent plastic surgery and was using weight loss medications in the run-up to the prestigious Golden Globes ceremony on January 10.
The sources also hinted at a potential use of opioids by the late heiress. The insiders made reference to her conduct on the Golden Globes red carpet, where she was allegedly slurring her words and required the support of her friend Jerry Schilling to maintain balance speaking.
Now, according to a new report by TMZ, she died from a condition known as sequelae of small bowel obstruction, essentially a complication arising from a small bowel obstruction.
For those unfamiliar, small bowel obstruction is a potentially serious condition often requiring immediate medical attention.
The report is, however, not yet exhaustive. We can expect more detailed insights when the full report, inclusive of toxicology results, becomes public.
This past Mother's day, the star's daughter, Riley Keough, shared a heartfelt tribute to her late mother.
The Daisy Jones and the Six actress took to her Instagram to remember her "deeply loving mama".
Keough shared a picture of her parents as they posed alongside her as a newborn, and captioned the post: "Lucky to have had the best and most deeply loving mama I could have asked for."
The actress's followers flooded the comment section with words of support. One fan penned: "Riley, Sending so much love to you Harper and Finley today. Praying the legacy of her love will be with you girls every day of your lives. You are such a strong, beautiful young woman and I admire you! Happy Mother's Day too you. [sic]"
Another user wrote: "Thinking of you and your Sisters today Riley.. Sending so much love to all of you," while a third added: "Your mom is with you and your sisters always Riley. Watching over you with [love]. Sending my thoughts and prayers to you and your family."
Celebrities like Naomi Campbell and singer Austin Brown replied to the loving tribute with red heart emojis.
