We end the day with some sad news from the Presley family. Hours ago, Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of Elvis Presley, was hospitalized after suffering a cardiac episode. Now Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie’s mother, has announced that her the singer/songwriter has passed away at the age of 54.
Priscilla Presley confirmed that her daughter died in a statement to People, saying:
It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us. She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment.
Lisa Marie Presley was found unresponsive at her home in Calabasas today, reportedly by her housekeeper, and Presley’s ex-husband Danny Keough (who’d allegedly been living with her for “quite some time now”) performed CPR on her until the paramedics arrived. From there, Presley was administered epinephrine at least once in order to regain a pulse, and then she was transported to the hospital. Not long after that, Priscilla Presley arrived at the medical facility to be by her daughter’s side, but sadly, she is no longer with us.
More to come…
