After hearing that Elvis Presley had died, Priscilla Presley said that she just sat in her room with all kinds of thoughts running through her head. Elvis Presley was found unresponsive in his home in Memphis. According to USA Today, Elvis’ official cause of death was listed as being due to “cardiac arrhythmia.” A toxicology report later confirmed that he had “extremely high levels” of various opiates in his system. He was just 42 years old.
“It was so devastating that I just went to my room and tried to contemplate how this happened, and what happened, and just stayed there until they sent a plane for me,” Priscilla said in a 2017 interview with ET. “They sent a jet to come, and going into that house and hearing all the people — especially his father, who I will, to this day, still remember him crying in such grief, howling — that it still resonates the loss and the impact,” she continued. Priscilla added, “[I lost] everything. You have to remember, he was such an impact in my life, in every way. He was my mentor, he was my confidant.”
Priscilla was left to raise the former couple’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, who was only 11 years old at the time of her dad’s tragic death.
