Elvis Presley’s Only Daughter, Lisa Marie, Dies In January 2023
Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, died on January 12, 2023 at 54 years old after being found unresponsive in her California home.
Lisa Marie’s official cause of death was later released as a condition called “sequelae of small bowel obstruction,” also known as complications from a small bowel obstruction.
TMZ reported at the time that paramedics were called to Presley’s Calabasas, California, home after going into “full cardiac arrest.” Lisa Marie’s ex-husband, Danny Keough, attempted life-saving procedures until paramedics arrived. She was transported to the hospital where she later died.

Priscilla Presley later confirmed her daughter’s death in a statement.
“It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us. She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known,” Priscilla Presley wrote. “We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment.”
Lisa Marie is also survived by her four children, actress Riley Keough and her late son Benjamin Keough, as well as twin daughters Finley and Harper Lockwood.
Following her tragic death, the twins now live with their father, Michael Lockwood, who was granted full custody after her passing in 2023.
Priscilla remains close with Harper and Finley, and on their 17th birthday back in October, expressed she is amazed by how fast they are maturing.

Priscilla Reflects On Her Daughter’s Death Three Years Later
On the third anniversary of her death, Priscilla took to social media to reflect on her special bond with Lisa Marie. She said in the post that there has not been a single day since her passing that she hasn’t been missing her.
“The depth of what we shared is something only a mother and daughter could ever understand,” Priscilla wrote.
Lisa Marie was only 4-years-old when her parents divorced and 9 when her famous father died. In many ways, she took on the responsibility of preserving her father’s legacy, and as a result spent all of her life in the spotlight.
“Our lives were complicated in ways few could grasp,” Priscilla continued, “shaped by love, pain, and the weight of a name the world claimed as its own. Through everything, our bond was ours alone-imperfect, deep and unbreakable. I miss you more than words can say, my little Lisa Marie.”
