The Los Angeles County Medical Examiners' office says Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of the iconic musician Elvis Presley, died earlier this year due to “a small bowel obstruction.”

Presley, who was also a musician, died January 12th, just two days after she attended the Golden Globes where she saw Austin Butler take home the Best Actor award for his portrayal of her father in the film Elvis.

Presley's obstruction “is a known long-term complication” of bariatric weight loss surgery, the medical examiner’s office said. Her surgery was performed “years ago,” according to the report.

The medical examiner’s report also said Presley had “therapeutic levels” of oxycodone and other medicine in her system but added that they were not seen as contributing factors to her death.

Presley was once married to Michael Jackson, another iconic performer.

Following her death in January, the singer’s family battled over her trust. In May, Lisa Marie’s mother, Priscilla Presley, and her daughter Riley Keough reached a settlement.

In a statement then, Priscilla shed light on the situation between her and her oldest granddaughter.

“My family has resolved all confusion as it relates to our plea to the court and request for document interpretation after my daughter Lisa Marie’s untimely passing. Although the media identified such a plea as a lawsuit, I want to make clear that there was never any lawsuit filed against my beloved granddaughter. As a family, we are pleased that we resolved this together. My family and I hope that everyone will grant us the privacy we have needed to properly grieve Lisa Marie and spend personal time together. We love and appreciate all of you and the Presley family is stronger than ever.”

Lisa Marie was also mom to 14-year-old twin daughters Harper and Finley with ex-husband Michael Lockwood.
