Lisa Marie Presley is reportedly in critical condition and hooked to life support systems after suffering a cardiac arrest.
The 54-year-old American singer-songwriter, who is the only child of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, was rushed to West Hills Hospital, in Los Angeles, California, after suffering what sources described as a “full cardiac arrest.”
According to the reports, Lisa’s housekeeper found the woman unresponsive in her bedroom. She then called the singer’s ex-husband Danny Keough who performed CPR until the first responders arrived at the scene.
It is understood that Keough was living with Lisa Marie at the time of the incident though they were no longer married.
Now, new reports reveal that the 54-year-old is now in a coma and in critical condition fighting for her life.
“My beloved daughter Lisa Marie was rushed to the hospital. She is now receiving the best care. Please keep her and our family in your prayers. We feel the prayers from around the world and ask for privacy at this time,” mother Priscilla wrote in a statement.
Confirming the tragic incident was also the LA County Sheriff’s Department who in a statement to DailyMail.com said:
“Deputies from Lost Hills Station responded to an assistance request call LA County Fire, near the 9500 block of Normandy Drive in Calabasas regarding a female adult, approximately 55, for a medical emergency/female not breathing.
“The female adult was transported by LA County Fire Department to a local area hospital where they were released to the hospital’s care.”
While it is not clear how Lisa Marie was treated on the scene and in the hospital, one source suggested that “someone administered epinephrine.”
Also known as adrenaline, epinephrine is often administered in life-threatening situations such as cardiac arrests and allergic reactions.
