Overview
- People published passages from Softly, As I Leave You in which Priscilla recounts telling a doctor to remove life support, calling the day "the second saddest" of her life after losing Elvis.
- She writes that Lisa Marie had minimal brain activity on a ventilator after being found unresponsive by ex-husband Danny Keough, and that family waited for hours before doctors warned of no quality of life.
- The Los Angeles County medical examiner previously determined Lisa Marie died from sequelae of a small-bowel obstruction linked to prior bariatric surgery.
- Former business partners Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko are suing Priscilla for at least $50 million, alleging she acted to control trusts and Graceland; her attorney Marty Singer has called the claims meritless.
- Priscilla’s memoir, due Sept. 23, also reflects on family grief, saying Lisa Marie struggled after her son Benjamin Keough’s 2020 suicide and often expressed that she wanted to be with him.
