It is with a heavy heart that I must share devastating news: my dear daughter Lisa Marie has left us
said his mother Priscilla Presley.
The daughter of King
had been rushed to hospital on Thursday morning, according to a post posted earlier by her mother on social media.
She had been placed in an artificial coma, on life support, after cardiac arrest, according to the TMZ site, which relied on anonymous sources.
Mrs. Presley was unconscious
when her housekeeper discovered her at her home Thursday morning in Calabasas, an affluent suburb of Los Angeles, according to the site.
Her ex-husband, Danny Keough, who also lives on the property, performed CPR until paramedics arrived and took her to hospital.
The unnamed sources told TMZ that the singer did not attempt suicide.
She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I know
greeted her mother in her statement to the site Peopleasking to respect the privacy of the family and thanking the fans for their love and prayers
.
Without confirming the identity of the patient, the Los Angeles fire department told the press that its teams had taken care of a woman in her fifties who suffered a cardiac arrest shortly after 10:30 a.m.
The singer was seen with her mother on Tuesday at the Golden Globes ceremony, where Austin Butler received an award for his role in the film Elvis.
The actor, whose larger-than-life incarnation of the rock’n’roll legend has been widely acclaimed, dedicated a word to the two women during his onstage speech.
Thank you for opening your hearts, your memories, your home to me. Lisa Marie and Priscilla, I love you forever
he launched.
Lisa Marie Presley was Elvis’ only child. She previously controlled Elvis Presley Enterprises, but sold most of her stake to a private equity firm in 2005.
She retained control of Graceland, the Memphis, Tennessee property owned by her father. He was found unconscious there in August 1977, before being taken to hospital. His death was attributed to a heart attack.
His father’s toxicology reports revealed high levels of drugs in the rock ‘n’ roll legend’s system.
Lisa Marie Presley has released three albums during her career and is the mother of actress Riley Keough, known for her roles in independent films like Magic Mike, American Honey or Zola.
Besides Danny Keough, whom she divorced in 1994, she was also married to Nicolas Cage, Michael Jackson and songwriter Michael Lockwood.
