Lisa Marie Presley was only 9 years old when her father died. In 2003, the songwriter who followed in her dad's footsteps with her music career talked about his death on "Larry King Live." Lisa Marie and King lost their fathers at nearly the same age, which encouraged the singer to open up about the night Elvis died. She said, "You know, I think I had a harsh introduction to death early on, and ... it sort of started a whole sequence at that point." Lisa Marie revealed she lost other loved ones following her father's death.
Lisa Marie has always kept details of Elvis' death extremely private, but she did relive the tragic night years after her interview with King, per Radar Online. She said, "I don't like talking about this. It was 4 a.m. I was supposed to be asleep, actually. He found me." Lisa Marie revealed her father came in to kiss her goodnight. She said that was the "last time I saw him alive." The songwriter woke up and found her father lying facefirst on the ground in his bathroom with then-girlfriend, Ginger Alden, by his side. Lisa Marie then ran to the phone to call one of Elvis' ex-girlfriends, Linda Thompson. Thompson recalled that Lisa Marie yelled, "My daddy's dead! He's smothered in the carpet!" The traumatizing death, especially at such a young age, greatly affected the way Lisa Marie coped.
