Lisa Marie Presley has died at the age of 54, hours after she suffered a cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas, California.
According to TMZ, she’d been rushed to a hospital in critical condition and was said to be in a coma following a full cardiac arrest soon after complaining about stomach pains.
Her mother Priscilla, who was at her daughter’s side, said in a statement that it was with a heavy heart that she must share the devastating news that her beautiful daughter Lisa Marie had left them.
The statement continued that she was the most passionate, strong and loving woman she had ever known and that they ask for privacy as they try to deal with this deep loss, and thanked everyone for their love and prayers, but at this time there would be no additional comment.
Lisa Marie Presley’s death comes just two days after she was pictured with her mother at the Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hills Hilton where Austin Butler won the Best Actor award for his portrayal of her father in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis.
The star’s life was turbulent with five stints in recovery for cocaine and opioid abuse, four failed marriages, losing her son to suicide and a vicious custody battle over her twin girls with an ex-husband she accused of having child pornography.
Sources told TMZ that Lisa Marie Presley was discovered unresponsive in her bedroom by her housekeeper and that her ex-husband, Danny Keough, who she’d been living with, performed CPR until paramedics arrived at the house.
The source added that someone administered epinephrine, more commonly known as adrenaline, at the scene at least one time in order to help Lisa Marie regain a pulse.
According to the Mayo Clinic, stomach pain is a sign of cardiac arrest in females.
Epinephrine, or adrenaline, is administered to treat many life-threatening conditions such as cardiac arrests, asthma attacks and allergic reactions.
LA County Sheriff’s Department told a newspaper outlet that deputies from Lost Hills Station responded to an assistance request call from LA County Fire, near the 9500 block of Normandy Drive in Calabasas about a female adult, around 55, for a medical emergency/female not breathing.
They said a female adult was transported by LA County Fire Department to a local area hospital where they were released to the hospital’s care.
Losing her son must have broken her heart, and she always looked so sad, but then she did have her father’s eyes which always made her look slightly melancholy, even a little high at times, but she did have the most stunning eyes. However, this is very heartbreaking and tragic.
She looked extremely depressed and didn’t look healthy at the Golden Globe Awards. She also looked very pale, but then she lived her whole life with terrible loss, first her father and then a son, which is more than anyone could bear.
Lisa Marie Presley never actually had a life of her own, she was always Elvis Presley’s daughter and she never really had a chance to be her own person, and her poor mother, it’s not right for a parent to have to bury their child or their grandchild for that matter.
But at least mother and daughter had one last glamorous night together with Elvis front and centre, and Lisa Marie enjoyed a night filled with love.
Her father lovingly doted on her and wanted her to have everything, but instead, her life was sad and heartbreaking.
