Although doctors managed to restart her heart, Priscilla said she immediately sensed her daughter\u2019s spirit was already gone. Surrounded by family, including Lisa Marie\u2019s daughter Riley Keough and ex-husband Danny Keough, they waited for hours hoping for a miracle before doctors confirmed there was no chance of recovery. Faced with an impossible decision, Priscilla ultimately agreed to remove her daughter from the ventilator after doctors explained she would have \u201cno quality of life\u201d if kept alive. She admitted the traumatic moment remains painful to revisit and said the grief still affects the family deeply years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lisa Marie Presley died at age 54 from complications related to a bowel obstruction caused by prior bariatric surgery. Her death shocked fans worldwide, especially after footage emerged of her appearing frail while attending the Golden Globes just two days earlier to support Austin Butler\u2019s portrayal of Elvis. The Presley family has continued honoring her memory through emotional tributes and public memorials held at Graceland. During one memorial service, it was also revealed that Lisa Marie had become a grandmother shortly before her passing when daughter Riley secretly welcomed a baby girl. Priscilla has since spoken openly about finding strength through unimaginable grief while continuing to celebrate her daughter\u2019s legacy as a loving mother, passionate artist, and devoted protector of her father\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Priscilla Presley has shared heartbreaking details about the final hours of her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, describing the loss as \u201cthe second saddest day of my life,&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":51342,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51341","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"views":30,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=51341"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51341\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51343,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51341\/revisions\/51343"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/51342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=51341"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=51341"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=51341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
