How did Lisa Marie Presley die?
According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, ‘sequelae of small bowel obstruction’ was the official cause of Lisa Marie Presley’s death. It is ‘a condition which is the consequence of a previous disease or injury.’ In other words, her death was a ‘natural’ one.
Several media outlets reported on Thursday, July 12, the reason that led to her death at the age of 54. However, a toxicology report for Presley has yet to come out. Paramedics had tried to revive her by performing CPR on the ‘Lights Out’ singer at her Calabasas, Californian residence. Lisa Marie was later transported to the West Hills Hospital and Medical Center in Los Angeles.
“Lisa Marie had a cosmetic procedure a few months before her death, after which she was prescribed opioids. Over and above, she had a history of ‘overmedicating, and she was known to forget she had taken her meds and would take them again,” TMZ reported earlier.
'She made some bad investments'
Lisa Marie Presley left her estate to her three daughters Riley Keough, and twins Harper and Finley. “She was a big spender, and she made some bad investments. She basically blew through $100 million dollars in 25 years,” claimed TMZ producer Katie Hayes. “We’ve learned that at the time of Lisa’s death, she was $4 million in debt, including $2.5 million still owed to the IRS. But we found out that on the day she died, Lisa’s estate was suddenly flushed with cash,” added TMZ Executive Producer Charles Latibeaudiere. The third executive producer further said, “Sources tell us Lisa had taken out multiple life insurance policies. One for $25 million, and the other one for $10 million. And there may have been a third $10 million policy but they’re not sure if it lapsed. Bottom line, there’s more than $30 million dollars to be divided among the three kids."
