Not long after Austin Butler won the Golden Globe for best actor for “Elvis,” Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley had headed to the Chateau Marmont for the awards’ after-party. However, what would have been their final public outing as mother and daughter was cut short. As Priscilla recounted to The Hollywood Reporter, “We sat down and ordered drinks, and she says, ‘Mom, my stomach hurts really bad.’ We immediately got up and left.”
It’s likely Priscilla had been concerned about her daughter for some time leading up to their exit. According to the New York Times, the autopsy mentioned that she’d been experiencing severe stomach aches for several months — and that wasn’t her only symptom. On top of the pain, she’d also been dealing with nausea, vomiting and even fever. Sadly, she never saw a doctor about the situation, and when she finally did receive emergency medical attention, it was already too late.
Heartbreakingly, Priscilla also told The Hollywood Reporter that she hadn’t been able to say her goodbyes. Despite racing to the hospital as soon as she’d got the call from Lisa Marie’s ex-husband, Danny Keough, by the time she arrived, her daughter had already passed away.
