Lisa Marie Presley’s heart stopped twice and she was declared brain dead on Thursday, prompting her family to instruct doctors not to resuscitate her, sources said.
The famous daughter of Elvis Presley was rushed to the hospital Thursday after suffering a cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas, California.
The ‘Lights Out’ singer was found to be brain dead shortly after being brought in. sources told TMZ.
Presley’s family signed a DNR after being pronounced brain dead in case she collapsed again, which she did soon after. She suffered a second cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at the age of 54.
It is unclear how long Presley had been without oxygen before her housekeeper found her unresponsive in her bedroom that morning. Her ex-husband Danny Keough performed CPR until EMTs arrived.
Just two days before her death, Presley appeared frail and frail at the Golden Globes. During a repeat carpet interview, Presley leaned into 80-year-old talent manager Jerry Schilling and said, “I’m going to grab your hand.”
Another video from the event was shown presley shuffling and stumbling as three people, including Elvis biographer Austin Butler, advanced to help her down the stairs.
