Lisa Marie Presley, Daughter Of Elvis Presley, Dead At 54

Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, died on Thursday after suffering an apparent heart arrest, her mother said. Age-wise, she was in the mid-fifties.

 

“Priscilla Presley and the Presley family are stunned and grieved by the untimely passing of their darling Lisa Marie,” Priscilla Presley said in a statement sent to CNN. They beg for privacy at this time and are extremely appreciative of everyone’s love, prayers, and support.

A representative for the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Kaitlyn Aldana, told CNN that at 10:37 a.m. local time, firefighters were called to the 5000 block of Normandy Dr in Agoura Hills due to a cardiac arrest.

 

 

Privacy regulations prevented Aldana from disclosing the patient’s identity, but she did say that she had been brought to a nearby hospital at 11:17 a.m.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to a medical emergency this morning, according to CNN, but the department’s spokesperson would not reveal the identity of the patient.

 

 

On Tuesday night, Lisa Marie Presley and her mother attended the Golden Globes in support of Baz Luhrmann’s biopic “Elvis,” which is based on the life of Lisa’s late father.

The mother of Lisa Marie Presley posted on Instagram that her daughter had been taken to the hospital earlier in the day.

 

 

Please pray for her and our family. Her statement at the time read, “We feel the prayers from across the world, and beg for privacy during this time.”

On Thursday, TMZ was the first to disclose that Lisa Marie Presley had been admitted to the hospital.

 

Lisa Marie Presley’s son, Benjamin Keough, committed suicide in 2020 when he was 27 years old. On the second anniversary of Keough’s passing in July 2017, she posted a photo to Instagram showing their matching foot tattoos.

Besides Michael Jackson and Danny Keough, Lisa Marie Presley has been married to Nicolas Cage and Michael Lockwood. She also raised actors Riley Keough and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood, as well as Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood, the daughter of her late son.

 

 

For National Grief Awareness Day in September, Lisa Marie Presley penned an essay in which she discussed the death of her son.

His death detonated and devastated our lives as I and my three girls knew them. Every day is like this for us. Single. “Day,” she penned. In spite of what certain people and our culture would have us believe, “grief is something you will have to carry with you for the rest of your life. You cannot simply “get over it” or “move on.”

 

Lisa Marie Presley said in her essay that her girls are what keep her going, and that she finds consolation in the company of individuals who have endured similar sorrow.

She concluded, “I keep going for my girls.” In his closing moments, my son made it abundantly obvious that protecting his younger sisters was his top priority. This motivates me to carry on with his mission. He was completely smitten by them, and they by him.
