Lisa Marie Presley's first husband, Danny Keough,
was called her "rock" after the untimely death of their first son, Benjamin. Now,
new details have emerged on why Keough was living with his ex in the months leading up to her death.
Lisa Marie Presley was found unresponsive at her home in Calabasas, California, on January 12,
2023. The only daughter of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley was rushed to the hospital,
where she was placed on a ventilator. A few hours later, TMZ confirmed that Lisa Marie had died.
In the time since, more details about the hours leading up to Lisa Marie's death have surfaced.
The 54-year-old was discovered by her housekeeper, who immediately got Lisa Marie's ex-husband,
Danny Keough, to help. Keough, who had been living with Lisa Marie,
had just returned from dropping her twins off at school and quickly jumped into action,
administering CPR before paramedics arrived. Once at the hospital, however, Lisa Marie was
declared brain dead and put on life support, according to TMZ. She died shortly thereafter.
Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough, who were married from 1988 to 1994,
moved in together after the tragic death of their son, Benjamin Keough.
Benjamin died by suicide in 2020. A source told The U.S. Sun in March 2021:
The source went on to add:
"He's got so much integrity. He's also my best friend."
Lisa Marie and Danny are also parents to Riley Keough. Lisa Marie is survived by Riley,
as well as her twin daughters, Finley and Harper Lockwood, whom she had with her ex-husband,
Michael Lockwood. The home Lisa Marie Presley shared with Danny Keough holds many memories
for the entire family. But, in the time since Lisa Marie's death, her twins haven't been able
to return to the house because it's just too difficult for them. According to TMZ, Harper
and Finley Lockwood have been living with their grandmother, Priscilla Presley, in Los Angeles.
As of January 20, 2023, Keough hasn't spoken out publicly about the death of Lisa Marie.
Although he does have an active Instagram account, he hasn't posted anything since
2016. His most recent post, however, has been flooded with messages of condolences
and well wishes from fans all around the globe. One Instagram user wrote:
Meanwhile, another commenter wrote on Instagram:
Lisa Marie is set to be laid to rest across from her father Elvis Presley's plot at Graceland,
TMZ has confirmed. Her official cause of death is still unclear. When Lisa
Marie Presley married Danny Keough, there was perhaps no one happier for
her than her own mother. Priscilla Presley told People at the time:
Although their marriage didn't work out, it seems as though Lisa Marie always had a
soft spot for her ex. In an interview with Marie Claire in 2007, Lisa Marie admitted
that her split from Keough was something she deeply regretted. She told the outlet:
Lisa Marie ended up marrying Michael Jackson just 20 days after her divorce from Keough. While it's
unclear if Lisa Marie and her ex were romantically involved with one another, it's clear that the
two had an unbreakable bond that led them back to one another during a time of grief — and beyond.
