Published January 14, 2023 By admin with Comments 1

Before loved ones and fans could even shared their tributes, anti-vaxxers and conspiracists were posting baseless theories about why or how Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley, had died.

Presley’s mother confirmed her daughter’s death in a message posted on Instagram on Thursday: “It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” Priscilla Presley said.

The cause of Presley’s death at the age of 54 was not made public, but TMZ reported that she was found unconscious at her home after suffering a cardiac arrest. According to TMZ, Her ex-husband, who also lives on the property, attempted CPR before she was rushed to hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Her family has a long history of heart disease.

Presley is survived by her mother and three daughters. Her son Benjamin Keough died by suicide in 2020. She was last seen in public on Tuesday, when she attended the Golden Globes awards ceremony with her mother.

As has become all too predictable in the wake of a celebrity’s death, especially those who die at a young age, cranks, conspiracists, right-wing figures and even fellow celebrities were sharing conspiracy theories about Presley’s death being linked to the COVID-19 vaccine.
