‘I miss you more than words can say. I wish I could hold you, talk to you, see your smile one more time,” Priscilla began.
“I wish you could see how much you are still loved, how deeply you are missed by all of us who hold you in our hearts.” -Mom,’ she concluded.

Lisa Marie went into cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas, California on January 12, 2023 at approximately 10:30 am.
She was transported to West Hills Hospital, where her heart was restarted en route via CPR.
However, she died in hospital later that day, just days after her last public appearance at the Golden Globes with her mother Priscilla.
Her autopsy revealed that Lisa Marie died of a small intestinal obstruction caused by a recent bariatric surgery she underwent to manage obesity problems.
Although opioids were found in her system at the time of death, the coroner revealed that they did not contribute to her death.
She was buried in the Graceland Meditation Garden next to her father Elvis and her son Benjamin, who died by suicide in 2020.
In October, Lisa Marie’s daughter, actress Riley Keough, opened up about her mother’s final years in an Oprah Winfrey special.
She revealed that when her son Ben died by suicide in 2020, Lisa Marie kept her son’s body for two months, unsure whether to let him rest, and because she thought she could process her grief better if his body was nearby was.

“On paper, I could understand how this sounds completely crazy and absurd, but my mother was just very much herself… You know, she wasn’t a crazy lady,” Riley said.
She compared her mother’s lengthy grieving process to non-Western societies, adding, “everyone in the house was in the grieving process.”
Riley added, “She did some wild things, but I think the plan was to bury him here (in Graceland) with her dad.”
“And we wouldn’t come here for about three weeks. … She knew the woman was going to keep my brother at the funeral home, and I think she just didn’t like the idea of him being far away, and not knowing what was being done,” she added.
“And I think she just wanted to be in control of the situation, given our family and everything, and also just want to be a mother… Basically, she found a very compassionate funeral home owner who was a mother, and she said, ‘Well , Look, if you do all these things, you can keep him in a room. You just have to have someone take care (of the body),” she said, adding in her book that Benjamin’s corpse was kept at 55 degrees.
