Lisa Marie Presley’s family signs DNR before her second cardiac arrest
Ms. Presley attended the Golden Globe Awards on Tuesday, two days before her demise, for revisiting her father’s memories through Elvis, a Baz Luhrmann-directed and Austin Butler-acted movie. She was quite impressed by the movie and said “I was mind-blown, truly…I actually had to take, like, five days to process it because it was so spot on and authentic.”
Two days after the event, she suffered from a cardiac arrest at her house and was found unresponsive by her housekeeper. Her ex-husband, currently living with her conducted CPR until she was revived by the EMTs through an administered dose of epinephrine. However, she was rushed to the hospital for monitored treatments and she coded multiple times while being there. That is when her family signed a DNR order (do-not-resuscitate) prior to her ultimate demise.
Lisa Marie Presley was pronounced brain dead by the doctors after arriving at the hospital as a result of multiple cardiac arrests on her way. She then suffered another cardiac arrest at the hospital, which was her last, for her family decided not to revive her since it was only causing her more suffering.
