Late popular musician Elvis Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, is dead after suffering a heart attack at her Los Angeles home.
Housekeeper found Lisa unresponsive in her bedroom
TMZ reports that her housekeeper found her unresponsive in her bedroom. About the same time, Lisa's ex-husband, Danny Keough, who has been living with her for some time now, returned from taking the kids to school and started CPR until the paramedics arrived.
Emergency services responded to a call reporting a possible cardiac arrest at the Presley’s home in Calabasas, Calif.

A representative for the LA County Fire Department said: “We were dispatched at 10:37 a.m. to a cardiac arrest call at the 5900 block of Normandy Drive in the city of Agoura. We arrived on scene at 10:43 a.m. One person was transported at 11:17 a.m. The patient was a female age 54.”
The paramedics administered epinephrine to the 54-year-old before taking her to the hospital. She was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at West Hills Hospital and Medical Center.
Lisa Marie was placed in a coma
Lisa Marie was reportedly been placed in a medically-induced coma where she was in critical condition.
Many of Lisa Marie’s family members were later seen rushing to the same hospital. Most notably, her mother, Priscilla, who made sure she was by her daughter’s side.
“My beloved daughter Lisa Marie was rushed to the hospital. She is now receiving the best care. Please keep her and our family in your prayers,” the 77-year-old said on her Facebook page on Thursday, January 23.
“We feel the prayers from around the world and ask for privacy at this time," she added.
Lisa was pronounced dead at the L.A. area hospital where she was taken after suffering cardiac arrest Thursday, January 12 in the morning.
Priscilla Presley and family are devastated
A rep for Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie's mother said:
"Priscilla Presley and the Presley family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Lisa Marie.
"They are profoundly grateful for the support, love, and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time.”
Lisa Marie's the daughter of Elvis and Priscilla ... she was born exactly nine months after her parents tied the knot.
Lisa's father, Elvis also died from a heart attack in 1977 and she became joint heir to his estate with her grandfather and great-grandmother.
The singer-songwriter just attended the 2023 Golden Globe Awards on Tuesday night, where she and her mother watched Austin Butler win for his portrayal of Elvis Presley in “Elvis.”
During Butler’s acceptance speech, which made headlines over the fact that he spoke still using Elvis’ signature Southern drawl, the actor, 31, paid tribute to both Priscilla and Lisa Marie.
“The Presley family, thank you, guys, for opening your hearts, your memories, your home to me,” he told the Tennessee natives.
“Lisa Marie and Priscilla, I love you forever," he added.
Lisa Marie is survived by four children
Lisa Marie owned and operated Elvis Presley Enterprises until 2005, when she sold off the entire portfolio of businesses.
She, however, remains the owner of Graceland, Elvis’ famed Memphis estate.
Lisa Marie is survived by four kids: daughter Riley Keough, 33, and son Benjamin with her first ex-husband, Danny Keough, as well as twin girls Harper and Finley, 14, whom she shares with her fourth ex-husband, Michael Lockwood.

Hanna Houghton from Hampshire in the UK suffered from cystic fibrosis and according to her fiance, the mother of four had complained of breathing difficulties but when he called the ambulance, it delayed it getting to her.
