Lisa Marie Presley Rushed To Hospital For A Horrific Reason
Lisa Marie Presley was rushed to the emergency room after a cardiac arrest.
Lisa Marie Presley has been rushed to the hospital after suffering a full cardiac arrest, according to sources who have spoken to TMZ. The site reports that paramedics were called to home of the singer-songwriter and 54-year-old daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley for a possible cardiac arrest. It was reportedly Lisa Marie’s housekeeper who found her in her bedroom, and her ex-husband Danny Keough performed CPR until the paramedics could get there.
TMZ initially reported EMTs were able regain Lisa Marie Presley’s pulse after performing CPR. The site later updated its story, saying they’d learned Presley had gone into “full arrest” and that epinephrine, aka adrenaline, was used to revive her.
This concerning news comes just after Lisa Marie and her mother Priscilla made prominent appearances at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards. Austin Butler received the Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama award for his performance as the late Elvis Presley in last year’s biopic Elvis, and mother and daughter began to cry when he thanked them for opening “your hearts, your memories, your home” to help Butler prepare for the role.
In the hours and days that follow there’s sure to be speculation about what triggered Lisa Marie Presley’s cardiac arrest, considering her relatively young age. In spite of a fairly high profile, tumultuous personal life — she’s been married and divorced 4 times including to the late pop icon Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage — there hadn’t been much word about substance abuse in Presley’s life. But that changed a couple of years ago.
Lisa Marie Presley contributed a foreword to the 2019 book The United States of Opioids: A Prescription for Liberating a Nation in Pain by Harry Nelson in which she opened up about her own struggle with opioid addiction. She wrote that she was “grateful to be alive” after becoming addicted to opioids after the 2008 births of her twin daughters Vivienne and Finley. “It only took a short-term prescription of opioids in the hospital for me to feel the need to keep taking them,” Presley wrote.
Born to Elvis and Priscilla Presley in 1968, Lisa Marie has never been far from the music world. Two years after her father’s passing, she famously gave one of his scarfs to Queen’s Freddie Mercury. She would later carve her own career out of the music industry, starting with her 2003 debut album To Whom It May Concern.
Boosted by the hit country rock pop single “Lights Out,” To Whom It May Concern cracked the #5 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart. She released two more studio albums: Now What in 2005 and Storm & Grace in 2012. In 2018, she starred in a music video, adding her own vocals to those of her late father in a performance of “Where No One Stands Alone.”
