Lisa Marie Presley’s cause of death has been revealed. Lisa Marie died of sequelae of small bowel obstruction, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner per PEOPLE. A sequelae is defined as “a condition which is the consequence of a previous disease of injury.”
According to TMZ, a toxicolgy report for the star revealed that there were “therapeutic levels of Oxycodone in her blood.”
In addition, a second opioid was found called Buprenorphine which is prescribed to treat opioid overuse. Opioids are known to cause constipation and can lead to bowel obstruction, which was the cause of her death.
The report also revealed that there were traces of Quetiapine, an antipsychotic drug.
The coroner told the outlet that “there was no drug paraphernalia or narcotics found at her home when she was rushed to the hospital.” At the hospital, Lisa Marie went into cardiac arrest. Her urine toxicology screen was negative. The outlet reports that the bowl obstruction was in the form of a strangulated small bowel caused by adhesions that developed after bariatric surgery (gastric bypass) years ago.
