The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office has confirmed Ms Presley died from 'an intestinal blockage.'

In a written statement, deputy medical examiner Dr. Juan M. Carrillo's opinion is that the obstruction was due to "adhesions (or, scar tissue) that developed after bariatric [weight-loss] surgery years ago. This is a known long-term complication of this type of surgery."
