The tragic news of Lisa Marie Presley’s death shocked the entertainment world. The only daughter of legendary singer Elvis Presley and actress Priscilla Presley was found dead at her Los Angeles home on January 12, 2023 at the age of just 54. According to the coroner, the cause of death was a small bowel obstruction, a serious complication resulting from a bariatric surgery she underwent several years ago.
Lisa Marie’s surgery was part of a series of procedures known as bariatric surgery, which includes gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding and duodenal switching. These interventions are essential in the treatment of grade III obesity and help to normalize metabolism, blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. However, in the case of Lisa Marie, adhesions developed over the years that blocked the small intestine and eventually led to her death.
Dr. Juan Carrillo, assistant medical examiner, stressed that these complications are well known and often associated with bariatric surgery. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the possible long-term consequences of such procedures.
But in addition to the singer’s tragic death, there were quarrels within her family over control of the Lisa Marie trust fund. According to the singer’s friends, at her request, the management of the fund was transferred to her daughter Riley Keough. However, his mother Priscilla immediately attempted to take control of the foundation by filing a court motion to challenge his disinheritance, which occurred in 2016.
Riley Keough, 34, is currently sole trustee of her mother’s estate, having reached an agreement with Priscilla last June. Priscilla received $1 million and $400,000 in attorney fees to resolve the family trust issue.
Lisa Marie’s last public appearance was at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards, where she attended with her mother and Elvis star Austin Butler, who was awarded Best Actor in a Drama. Just two days after the event, the sad news of his death shocked the entertainment world.
A memorial to Lisa Marie took place on January 22 at Graceland, the historic home of her father Elvis Presley. During the ceremony, Priscilla read touching eulogies with her husband Riley, and numerous artists, including Axl Rose, Alanis Morissette and Billy Corgan, performed in honor of the late singer.
Lisa Marie’s death left a void in the world of music and entertainment, but also left an important legacy. Her legacy, entrusted to her daughter Riley, will continue to be preserved and preserved, preserving the memory and talent of this outstanding artist.
