Lisa Marie Presley death details emerge as 'DNR order' uncovered

Details of Lisa Marie Presley's death have emerged, as it's revealed that the singer suffered two cardiac arrests and her family signed a 'Do Not Resuscitate' order.

The 54-year-old, who was the only child of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, died suddenly on Thursday.

She was rushed from her home in Calabassas, California to hospital, where she later passed away.

Reports have emerged to suggest she suffered a cardiac arrest at her home, and then a second en-route to hospital. It was at this point her family reportedly ordered a DNR.

TMZ reports: “Lisa Marie Presley's heart stopped a second time after she was hospitalized, but due to her hopeless condition her family had already ordered doctors not to resuscitate her.”

The US tabloid news outlet claims a source told them: “Lisa Marie had been pronounced brain dead after she was admitted to the hospital Thursday… doctors put her in an induced coma and she was on life support.

"Family members signed a DNR ... do not resuscitate order, in case she flatlined again.”

The report states that the singer suffered a second cardiac arrest, and was pronounced dead soon after.

Heartbreaking tributes have been paid since Lisa Marie’s passing - with ex-husband Nicholas Cage, to whom she was married from 2002 until 2004, declaring the star had: “The greatest laugh of anyone I ever met. She lit up every room, and I am heartbroken.”

Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, who directed 2022's Elvis biopic, stated: “Over the last year, the entire Elvis movie family and I have felt the privilege of Lisa Marie’s kind embrace. Her sudden, shocking loss has devastated people all around the world.

“I know her fans everywhere join me in sharing prayers of love and support with her mother, Priscilla, and her wonderful daughters Riley, Finley and Harper. Lisa Marie, we will miss your warmth, your smile, your love.”

Reports have stated that Lisa Marie will be buried at Graceland - where Elvis himself resided - and will be laid to rest next to the body of her son, Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in 2020.

Benjamin was just 27-years-old when he died, triggering an "unrelenting grief" for his mum.

He was buried in the Meditation Garden, which is also the resting place of his grandfather Elvis, great-grandmother Gladys, great-grandfather Vernon and great-great-grandmother Minnie Mae.

Lisa Marie visited Graceland on Sunday to mark Elvis' 88th birthday. She was also pictured at the Golden Globe awards on Tuesday.
