Her broken heart just stopped beating.
Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of “King” († 42), died three weeks before her 55th birthday.
ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE ELVIS CURSE!
Torn from a life between addiction, suicide and mental anguish: four failed marriages, five rehabs (alcohol, coke, opiates), countless demons.
Lisa Marie Presley inherited her father’s big name and a fortune of around $100 million. However, in 2016 she slipped into debt
Even Elvis Presley (played his iconic concert “Aloha from Hawaii” on Saturday 50 years ago) was dependent on painkillers and tranquilizers (including Valium, Oxycodon) and addicted to comforting fast food. When his heart failed in the bathroom of his Graceland, Memphis home in 1977, it was nine-year-old Lisa Marie who found him slumped on the carpet. At 13, she turned to drugs (“I did everything from heroin to crack.”)
On Thursday she also collapsed: heart failure in the bedroom of her luxury villa on Normandy Drive (Calabasas)!

At 10:43 a.m. local time, emergency services arrived and fought for her life for 34 minutes before Lisa was taken to West Hills Hospital. Mother Priscilla (77) prayed at the bedside, but her daughter died shortly afterwards in an artificial coma.

Her death comes suddenly – and yet it was a slow death. From the suicide of her son Benjamin († 27, put a shotgun in his mouth in Mama’s bathroom) in 2020, she never recovered: “My heart and soul went with you,” she wrote on Instagram. Only her daughters Riley (33), Harper and Finley (twins, 14) let her fight on.
But in her last appearances, Lisa Marie already seemed like a ghost.
On Sunday, Elvis’ 88th birthday, she had declared in a weak voice in front of fans at Graceland: “Only you can get me out of the house.”

Tuesday then her shock performance at the Golden Globes: emaciated, stepped away, staggering with an empty gaze. At the acceptance speech by Elvis actor Austin Butler (31, “Lisa, Priscilla, I will always love you.”) She burst into tears. parting tears…
