Lisa Marie Presley dead – Elvis’ daughter dies at 54 after cardiac arrest
Lisa Marie Presley shared about ‘grief’ and feeling ‘destroyed’ in devastating final post before her sudden death at 54
LISA Marie Presley’s final message on Instagram was a discussion about grief.
Elvis Presley’s daughter, who passed away suddenly on Thursday, spent her last years in anguish over her son Benjamin’s suicide.
Lisa Marie died at age 54 after suffering cardiac arrest at her home.
Paramedics performed CPR on the 54-year-old singer after finding her in her Calabasas, California, home before taking her in for treatment.
FINAL POST
Her final Instagram post was meant to help others deal with grief.
“Hi. In honor of it being National Grief Awareness Day , I wrote an essay about Grief which was posted today on PEOPLE.” she shared. “I thought I’d post it here in the hopes that anyone who needs to hear all of this it helps in some way.”
Elvis’ only grandson died by suicide after a self-inflicted gunshot wound at age 27 on July 12, 2020.
In an essay she gave to PEOPLE, Lisa Marie shared what she’s learned in the time since her son’s death.
“This is not a comfortable subject for anyone, and it is most unpopular to talk about,” she wrote. “But if we’re going (to) make any progress on the subject, grief has to get talked about.
“Death is part of life whether we like it or not — and so is grieving,” she continued. “Grief does not stop or go away in any sense, a year, or years after the loss. Grief is something you will have to carry with you for the rest of your life, in spite of what certain people or our culture wants us to believe. You do not “get over it,” you do not “move on,” period.”
Lisa Marie confessed that she “beats myself up tirelessly” and blamed herself every day for Benjamin’s death.
Her advice was to lean on others.
“This is where finding others who have experienced a similar loss can be the only way to go. Support groups that have your specific kind of loss in common. I go to them, and I hold them for other bereaved parents at my home.
“Nothing, absolutely NOTHING takes away the pain, but finding support can sometimes help you feel a little bit less alone.”
SAD NEWS
Lisa Marie’s mother, Priscilla Presley, confirmed the news of her passing in a statement, according to PEOPLE.
She said: “It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us.”
The actress went on: “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 your love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment.”
FINAL PHOTOS
Her death comes just two days after her appearance at the Golden Globe Awards Tuesday, where she supported Elvis star Austin Butler.
In her final photos, Lisa Marie looked frail, and had to cling to actor Austin’s arm.
Austin famously played Lisa Marie’s dad, Elvis, and just two days before her health crisis, he won the Golden Globe for his role as the rocker in the self-titled biopic.
Wearing an all-black dress, Lisa-Marie wrapped her arms around the actor for support as she walked.
Her eyes looked distant and tired and she had a slight slouch.

She posted a photo of herself and Lisa Marie on Instagram, along with a brief caption confirming that she had been hospitalized.

LISA’S TRAGEDY
Lisa Marie went into “full [cardiac] arrest” and was given adrenaline at least once to help her regain her pulse, TMZ reported.
The outlet reported that her housekeeper found her unresponsive in the bedroom of her home.
Lisa Marie’s ex-husband Danny Keough is said to have administered CPR on the scene.
She was then taken to an Intensive Care Unit for further treatment.
Late Thursday evening it was reported that she was on life support and had a temporary pacemaker.
Photos obtained by the outlet showed Lisa Marie’s mother, Priscilla, arriving at the hospital to be by her side.
Her half-sister Deborah Presley Brando was also seen outside the hospital.
She appeared sullen, holding a tissue in her hand.
A family source told The U.S. Sun that not much information about the singer’s prior health status has been shared.
She looked frail in the days before the incident, including at the Golden Globe Awards on Tuesday where she clung to “Elvis” star Austin Butler.
LASTING LEGACY
Born on February 1, 1968, she is the sole heir to her father’s estate, with the crooner dying when she was just nine years old.
A savvy businesswoman, Lisa Marie has released a number of albums including To Whom It May Concern, Now What, and Storm & Grace.
Her first album went platinum, with critics praising it for its distinctive flair.
She has also spoken out to support sufferers of AIDS.
Lisa Marie was married and divorced four times and had four children: Riley Keough, Benjamin Keough, Finley Aaron Love Lockwood, and Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood.
She was predeceased by her son Benjamin, who died by suicide in 2020.
Benjamin shot himself during a birthday party for his girlfriend at Lisa Marie’s home.
She was open about how challenging that loss was for her.
SERIOUS STRUGGLES
Lisa Marie’s life was full of both joy and struggles.
She was first married to Danny, a musician, and the pair went on to have two children before their divorce in 1994.
Twenty days after her divorce was finalized, the singer married Michael Jackson in 1994.
They met in 1975 when a seven-year-old Lisa Marie attended several of his concerts in Las Vegas and became friends in adult life in 1992 when she helped him through difficult times.
It wasn’t meant to be, however, and the couple split in 1996.
She then married actor Nicholas Cage, with that marriage lasting just 108 days in 2002.
Finally, she married Michael Lockwood and stayed with him for a decade.
The pair split and found themselves locked in a contentious split that was still ongoing at the time of her death.
The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that the ex-husband-and-wife was in court despite settling the divorce as he begs for thousand in attorneys fees, according to court documents.
In addition to being unlucky in love and facing major losses, Lisa Marie struggled with addiction.
