Lisa Marie Presley was the only child of rock icon Elvis Presley and actress Priscilla Presley, whose strong resemblance to her father was just one of the legacies she carried. She died in Los Angeles after being rushed to hospital. She was 54 years old and was buried at her father's Graceland estate in Memphis, Tennessee.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputies were called to Presley's residence in Calabasas, LA California, after receiving a call that someone in the house was suffering from cardiac arrest. Fire medics also arrived and, after administering treatment to stabilize Presley, took her to a nearby local hospital.
