Lisa Marie Presley died from a second cardiac arrest suffered while she was in hospital, it has emerged, and passed away after the family signed a ‘do not resuscitate’ order.

The 54-year-old only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley was rushed to hospital on Thursday morning after she was found by her housekeeper collapsed inside her Calabasas home.

EMTs arriving at her home managed to revive her and she regained a pulse, but she was brain dead on arrival at hospital, TMZ reported on Friday.

The family rushed to her bedside, where she was in an induced coma and on life support. On learning she was already brain dead they signed a ‘do not resuscitate’ order. 

She suffered a second cardiac arrest and died.

Her mother Priscilla, 77, was by her bedside.

‘It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,’ Priscilla Presley said in a statement Thursday evening. 

‘She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known.’ 

Ex-husband Danny Keough – her first of four, with whom she lived – had returned to the house shortly after she collapsed, and performed CPR until the paramedics arrived.
