People are pointing out that the death of Lisa Marie Presley might be somehow connected to the weight gain of more than 200 pounds she had three years ago. Lisa was found dead due to cardiac arrest and heart problems and weight gain often go hand-in-hand. People are claiming that the death of Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis Presley, is very similar to that of her father’s.
Lisa Marie Presley (February 1, 1968 – January 12, 2023) was an American singer and songwriter. Lisa was born in Memphis, Tennessee, to Elvis and Priscilla Presley, nine months after her parent’s wedding. Lisa is also known as the only child of the singer Elvis Presley.
Lisa had a rough childhood; her parents divorced when she was eight, and she moved from Memphis to Los Angeles with her mother. Her father always inspired her, and following his path, she released her first debut album, To Whom It May Concern, on April 8, 2003, which reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and was certified gold in June 2003.
Following Lisa’s first album’s success, she appeared in numerous performances and concerts before her second album, Now What. Only a few of Lisa’s albums have been released, and her most recent, which was released in 2018, was a collection of gospel music that her father loved. Presley appears in moments with her father and sings a duet to the song Where No One Stands Alone with Elvis in the title track’s music video.
Besides being a singer, Presley also wrote a book called, Elvis and Me. Elvis and Me is the New York Times bestselling memoir that reveals the intimate story of Lisa and her late father Elvis. After the death of Lisa, people are wondering whether her weight gain was the reason for her death or not. To know more about Lisa Marie’s weight gain, read this article.

Lisa Marie’s Weight Gain: The 54-Year-Old American Singer Was Dead Due to Cardiac Arrest; Doctors Warned She Was in Danger of Heart Problems When She Gained Weight!
People keep making the connection between Lisa Marie‘s (@lisampresley) weight gain of more than 200 pounds she had three years ago and her drug addiction with her death. Recently, Lisa was found dead due to cardiac arrest. Although the 54-year-old singer quit smoking and was clean now, luck didn’t favor and ended up leaving the world too soon.
Lisa Marie Presley is known by her father’s name, and people compare Elvis Presley and Lisa’s lives to the same kind of roller coaster ride. Lisa’s physical appearance has also attracted attention many times. Lisa had a rough childhood after her father’s death. Her mother admitted that she was spoiled and was given everything by her father. She had a tumultuous life which was reflected in the drastic weight gain she once underwent in 2019.
She was also seen dabbling in drugs after dropping out of high school, which caused her insane physical transformation with that weight gain. Lisa Marie Presley is clean now after having spent some time in drug rehab at the Scientology Celebrity Center when she was a youngster. After the birth of her twin children, Vivienne and Finley, at the age of 40, she fell into a full-blown opiate addiction but she fought against that and won.
Opioid addiction is characterized by a strong, compulsive desire to use opioid drugs even when they are no longer medically necessary. Even when prescribed appropriately and taken as directed, opioids have a high potential for addiction in some people.
Lisa Marie Presley was worried about dying at a young age like her father so, even though she couldn’t prevent herself from becoming addicted to prescription painkillers herself, she was determined to fight back the addiction. Plus, it might have been the dramatic weight gain as well. She shocked people with her physical appearance in 2019. Lisa Marie Presley was reported to gain more than 200 pounds in just two years.
She was said to be twice as heavy as she used to be. People used to think Lisa Marie and her father looked exactly the same because she was larger in stature. And with that weight gain, she looked more masculine than ever and it was no picnic for her health. According to Dr. Joseph Naim, Lisa gained a lot and some of his points were;
With her weight, she is at risk for a whole host of life-threatening medical problems, like diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and lower extremity arthritis.
Lisa Marie has admitted many times that she was pressured to be known as Elvis’ daughter and had a hard time maintaining her life. Maybe she finally got tired of the pressure and let go of herself and hence, the weight gain. When she was a teen, she weighed around 125 kg, and in 2019, she was more than double her size. Lisa was addicted to binge eating, as she loved eating cheesecake and McDonald’s for her launch.
Lisa Marie could not stay that way forever. So, she went on a weight loss journey, and now, the pictures of her from when she had the weight gain seem so unreal. After battling many ups and downs, she had been engaging in many activities before her death. She made the trek to Memphis for her dad’s 88th birthday, and one day before her death, she appeared in the Golden Globes award, where she expressed her happiness when Austin Butler won an award for his portrayal of Elvis Presley. Just a day after, on January 12, 2023, the Presley family lost Lisa Marie Presley to cardiac arrest.
Lisa was taken to the hospital in the morning and her heart was restarted after CPR was administered en route to a hospital in Los Angeles, but she died later that day at the age of 54. Later after the death, Lisa Marie’s mother stated:
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.
