Lisa Marie Presley death: Five quick facts to know about her passing
1) Lisa Marie Presley suffered cardiac arrest at a home near Calabasas
As per the Los Angeles Times, on January 12, Lisa Marie Presley experienced a heart attack at a residence close to Calabasas, California. She collapsed and had problems breathing, according to a source familiar with the situation. The singer was found unresponsive by a housekeeper in the bedroom.
Her ex-husband, Danny Keough, who arrived shortly after dropping the kids off at school, administered CPR but to no avail. L.A. County Fire Department Capt. Sheila Kelliher claimed that emergency officials responded to the report at 10:37 am. She was immediately taken to West Hills Hospital, where she was in an induced coma in the ICU.
2) According to a January 18 report, Lisa's cause of death remains "undetermined"
According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner, Lisa Marie Presley died of an "undetermined" cause on January 18, 2023, CBS reported. The singer passed away earlier this month after suffering cardiac arrest and being taken to the hospital from her Calabasas home. The cause of death was deferred since the medical examiner was unable to determine it.
According to a spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office, the cause of death has not been established, and the medical examiner is pursuing further investigations and examination of the case. Doctors will reevaluate the case after further testing, but there is no timeline for when that could occur.
