Lisa Marie Presley’s Final Week On Earth Was Her ‘Best Week’ Since Son’s Death

Lisa Marie Presley lived her best life till the very end.

An inside source has revealed details about the days leading to the death of the only child and daughter of singer Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley. The update comes soon after Lisa officially reached her final resting place on Sunday, January 22, next to her beloved late son, Benjamin Keough.


The young actor was found dead after committing suicide in July 2020.

Lisa’s final days on earth might not have been as horrible as some people previously thought. If his words are to be believed, Joel Weinshanker has claimed that his client’s last days were “some of her best.”

Speaking to ET Online just before Lisa’s public memorial service, the president of Elvis Presley Enterprises said:


“She was happy. I was with her for several days at Graceland leading up to her dad’s birthday on the Sunday the 8th. She had a great time.”


He recalled that the singer had “stood for hours” after the event ended, signing autographs and posing for the cameras.  “She wouldn’t leave until the last person was satisfied. She had an amazing time,” Weinshanker concluded.


The producer and businessman also divulged that the “Lights Out” hitmaker had asked him to ensure no sadness at her funeral. Recounting the incident, the “Christmas At Graceland” executive producer explained:

“She had many thoughts about what her funeral would be like. There was no question she wanted to be buried at Graceland since her son passed away. There was no question she wanted to be buried next to her son. The one thing she said was, ‘Don’t make it sad.’ She wants it to be a celebration, and that’s what it’s gonna be.” 


Her desire to be laid to rest in Graceland — the 13.8-acre mansion owned by Elvis — might have had something to do with her last visit there. Per The Blast, Lisa’s friend, David Kessler, detailed that she had taken him to the estate’s Meditation Garden, where Benjamin, his granddad Elvis, and other relatives, are buried.

Kessler stated, “We sat there mostly in silence by Ben’s grave. She showed me where she’d be buried someday, right across from her father’s grave.”

The 63-year-old is a well-known grief expert Lisa befriended after Benjamin’s suicide. The incident had shattered her world, leading her to search out Kessler — who would lose his friend five days after their Graceland visit.


Lisa had suffered a cardiac arrest while at home with her ex-husband and two of her children’s father, Danny Keough, and her housekeeper. Danny proceeded to perform CPR on her until first responders arrived.


Paramedics continued CPR, administering epinephrine at a point. Once they got a pulse, the “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet” singer was transported to the West Hills Hospital and Medical Center, California, where she gave up the ghost.

Riley Acknowledged Mother’s Passing One Week After It Happened


It was not until a week after Lisa’s passing that her daughter Riley Keough publicly finally addressed it. The Blast reported that the “Mad Max: Fury Road” actress shared a throwback photo of her younger self with her mother looking down at her.

The toddler appeared to be holding flowers as she and Lisa smiled at each other. The pair’s fans quickly began showing their support for the actress in the comment section.


Fellow actress Devery Jacobs wrote, “I’m so sorry, this is such a profound loss. Sending you and your family so much love and strength ❤️.” 

Celebrity makeup artist James Kaliardos commented, “Sending you and your family love @rileykeough and prayers for this profound loss of your beautiful mother ❤️.”


At the time of Lisa’s death, Priscilla announced in a statement, “It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us. She was the most passionate, strong, and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time, there will be no further comment.”


Lisa Marie is survived by three children — Riley, whom she welcomed five years before her marriage to Keough ended — and twins—  Finley and Harper — whom she shares with her ex and guitarist Michael Lockwood.
