The untimely ing of Lisa Marie Presley earlier this year bears eerie resemblances to the fate of her iconic father, Elvis Presley, who left us 46 years ago, according to a biographer who has delved into their shared health narratives.
On January 12, at the age of 54, Lisa Marie's sudden demise initially seemed linked to cardiac arrest. However, a recently released autopsy report revealed that her death was triggered by a small bowel obstruction. Just as her father's life was plagued by health issues, Lisa Marie had battled a slew of maladies leading up to her demise, including heart ailments, prolonged fevers, and gastrointestinal distress, mirroring Elvis' own struggles.
The autopsy shed light on the circumstances surrounding Lisa Marie's ing. Complaining of abdominal pain on the morning of her death, she was discovered unconscious in her Calabasas residence by her ex-husband, Danny Keough, and was rushed to the hospital. Her health took a perilous turn, necessitating the installation of a temporary pacemaker to address her heart issues, before she eventually succumbed to cardiac arrest.
The underlying cause of Lisa Marie's fatal bowel obstruction was traced back to a complication from her earlier bariatric surgery, a weight-loss procedure she had undergone years prior. However, Sally Hoedel, an Elvis historian and dedicated fan, posits that there may have been more to Lisa Marie's surgery than meets the eye.
Presley family had an history of ailments
Hoedel draws attention to the Presley family's history of chronic bowel ailments, asserting that the scar tissue resulting from Lisa Marie's gastric by surgery contributed to her obstruction. This, she believes, might have roots in a shared genetic disposition for bowel issues within the family.
Elvis, too, grappled with a lifelong battle against chronic bowel problems and constipation. Hoedel's research highlights striking parallels between father and daughter's health struggles, from distended abdomens to metabolic acidosis. The examination of their health histories reveals a compelling pattern that hints at genetic links between their health ailments.
Hoedel's insights extend beyond physical health, as she explores the emotional toll these health issues took on both Elvis and Lisa Marie. Lisa Marie's journey was marked by substance abuse and addiction, partly driven by the loss of her father, grandfather, and great-grandmother in a short span of three years. While her struggle with opioids and cocaine is well-documented, her later years saw efforts to overcome these addictions.
With Lisa Marie's tragic departure echoing echoes her father's, Sally Hoedel urges a deeper exploration of the Presley lineage's health legacy. This investigation, she believes, has the power to unveil the truth behind their health battles, honoring their stories and challenging the sensationalism that has shrouded Elvis' ing for decades.
