She died of "cardiac arrest."
Duh...everyone does.
If you're beheaded, doesn't the heart really stop after you're dead?

I still haven't heard anything about the cause of death other than "cardiac arrest."
I wonder if an autopsy was performed.

Apparently, she was looking pretty shaky at an awards ceremony a couple of days earlier, and she sounded really down at a speech she gave at Graceland.
It just all seems very sad to me. The poor kid, growing up in that bizarre environment, and then a series of really bad decisions, which aren't really surprising.

Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of Elvis Presley, died of a small bowel obstruction as a delayed consequence of bariatric weight loss surgery, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner reported on Friday, six months after she died.
Presley, a singer and songwriter in her own right, had been taken to hospital after reportedly suffering cardiac arrest at her home. She died on Jan. 12.
The medical examiner listed the cause of death as "sequelae of small bowel obstruction."
"The obstruction was in the form of a strangulated small bowel caused by adhesions that developed after bariatric surgery years ago," the examiner said in a report. "This is a known long-term complication of this type of surgery."
The examiner said she also had a history of overmedicating in which, forgetful that she had taken her prescription medication, she would repeat her doses.
The toxicology report showed she had "therapeutic levels" of oxycodone and other medicine in her blood that were not considered contributing factors.
I'll wait for @bachophile to chime in, but my guess is that she had the sbo because of adhesions.
Interesting that she had some kind of bariatric surgery - I never thought she was obese enough to justify it, but I might be wrong.
