Her ex-husband Danny Keough, who still lives with her, arrived and reportedly performed CPR.

Tributes from around the world have since been pouring in.

Tom Hanks’s wife, Rita Wilson, posted on Instagram that their hearts had been broken. He had recently featured in the new Elvis biopic and had met Lisa personally.

“Tom and I had spent some time with the family during the Elvis movie promotional tour. Lisa Marie was so honest and direct, vulnerable, in a state of anticipation about the movie,” she wrote.

“She spoke so eloquently about her father, what the movie meant to her, that it was a celebration of her dad.”
