How did Lisa Marie Presley die?
On Thursday, 13 January, 2023, Lisa Marie Presley suffered a cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas, California.
Her former husband Danny Keough is said to have found her in her bedroom unresponsive at around 10.30am.
According to TMZ, the actor performed CPR on Lisa Marie until paramedics arrived at the property.
She was rushed to West Hills Hospital and Medical Center for treatment before sadly passing away.
The pair had been living together at Danny’s home since she sold her own property following their son’s suicide in 2020.
Sources told The US Sun Lisa Marie remained “racked with grief” over the tragic death of Benjamin Keough, 27, during a party inside her home for his then-girlfriend.
No further details have been released regarding the mum-of-four’s cause of death.
Fans of Elvis’ only child were stunned by the news, as it came just two days after she made an appearance at the Golden Globe Awards on January 10, 2023.
Days before her death, Lisa Marie had also visited Graceland – the iconic mansion owned by her father in Memphis, Tennessee.
She visited the memorial to celebrate what would have been his 88th birthday, on January 8.
