Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley and a singer-songwriter dedicated to her father’s legacy, died Thursday after being hospitalised for sudden cardiac arrest. She was 54.
Her death in a Los Angeles hospital was confirmed by her mother, Priscilla, a few hours after her daughter was rushed to the hospital by paramedics after a medial episode at her home.
“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.
“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.”
Presley’s death came hours after her housekeeper found her unresponsive in her bedroom in Calabasas, California, a source close to the matter told TMZ.
Her ex-husband, actor and musician Danny Keough, performed CPR until emergency responders arrived on the scene. She was rushed to the hospital for suspected cardiac arrest.
Both Presley’s mother, Priscilla, and daughter, the actor Riley Keough, were at her bedside on Thursday afternoon.
