“It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” Priscilla Presley, her mother, said in a media statement. “She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known.”
According to TMZ, which first broke the story, Lisa Marie was found unresponsive by her housekeeper in her bedroom on Thursday morning. Her ex-husband, Danny Keough – with whom she lived – had just returned home from dropping at school the two children Lisa Marie had with a subsequent ex-husband, Michael Lockwood. Keough administered CPR until paramedics took over.
Arriving at 10:43 a.m., the paramedics could not find a pulse, according to TMZ‘s report, but were able to restore it by administering at least one epinephrine shot before rushing her to West Hills Hospital in Los Angeles. Here, she was reportedly pronounced brain dead and placed in a medically induced coma. According to TMZ, the family signed a do-not-resuscitate order in case she suffered a second cardiac arrest at the hospital, which is exactly what happened.
TMZ quoted unnamed sources claiming that Lisa Marie had complained earlier Thursday morning of stomach pains that grew increasingly intense. “The sources wanted to make clear … this was NOT a suicide attempt,” TMZ reported.
One Presley Tragedy After Another
Lisa Marie is survived by her mother and her three daughters – Riley Keough, 33, and twins Harper and Finley Lockwood, 14. Lisa Marie was married to Keough from 1988 to 1994, to late pop superstar Michael Jackson from 1994 to 1996, to actor Nicolas Cage from 2002 to 2004, and to Lockwood from 2006 to 2016.
The singer-songwriter, who released three albums of original music during her lifetime, was the sole heir to the Elvis fortune, which includes Graceland, Elvis’ famous Memphis mansion. She also owned and operated the lucrative Elvis Presley Enterprises until 2005, when she sold 85% of it off, excluding the Graceland property where her father is buried.
Elvis Presley died in Graceland in 1977 of a heart attack, most likely brought on by his addiction to prescription drugs.
This latest Presley family tragedy comes only two days after Lisa Marie and Priscilla attended the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills to cheer on actor Austin Butler. He won the Best Actor for a Drama Motion Picture Award for playing the lead in the 2022 movie Elvis.
It seemed like a joyous way to continue a week that began by celebrating what would have been Elvis’ 88th birthday on Sunday.

Heartbreaking Lisa not ready to die. She same as my name l'm 55 1/2 born in 1967. I am thinking about you l can't believe Lisa is gone. Soo Sweetheart Lisa with families pictures. Lisa Very Good Mother!!! I Love Lisa's father Elvis Presley very good dancer. We all will Miss You Soo MUCH
Woody- I'am shocked and really saddened that the only child of Elvis has died.I will always have a place in heart for Lisa Marie Presley.I'll have always a place for all of the Presley's. I'll never forget that time that I saw Elvis when I was only 12 or 13 years old.Me and family were living in south Memphis then a neighborhood called prospect park.we'd go the grocery store every SAT .afternoon about 2:30 or 3.it was that chain of groceries called giant foods where there had this big statue of this big dude hold two arm loads groceries in each arm. They had him on a pedestal looking out over Elvis Presley Blvd .Well anyway we were going to that grocery store as soon as we got to Elvis's driveway he pulls out and turns north going towards brooks Rd. I believe turned right brooks.Well can't believe Lisa Marie is gone.god bless her. And her mother. l know she really feel the loss that being her only child. Ms. Presley wherever you are God bless you.I love all of y'all.and again you Lisa both have a very very happy new year.yours truly woody.
The first question that pops in everyone’s mind now is was she “up to date” on her shots. Died suddenly is now the new normal. Cardiac arrest, myocarditis, heart attack….
You were a class act Lisa and your Parents were both proud with good reason. I hope your Children carry on with your heart and soul ❤️
Your dad was my favorite singer in the world and my nephew was born on his birthday and you remind me of him and I will miss you forever love you and your dad and your grandparents forever and ever see you all in heaven
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Presley Family. Lisa has gone home to be with her Father and Son. Rest in Peace Heavenly Angel. Michele and Devin Bloom
RIP with your son and Dad .. ❤️
She had her own style of music, witch made her just as talented like Elvis ,and was beautiful . but died too young. Respect and love to Pricilla and the children of Lisa. God bless her and keep her. My brother Martin Prpich died recently of cancer aged 55, I miss him and wish that he is singing in heaven and hope that Elvis and lisa marie do the same. UK.
RIP My Darling
