Story by OK Magazine • Yesterday 7:30 AM
Lisa Marie Presley was on an extreme weight loss regimen and had relapsed into taking opioids in the months leading up to her tragic death on Thursday, January 12, sources confirmed.
The "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" singer had fallen dependent on drugs after she wanted to look her best for the multiple awards shows in which her famous father's biopic, Elvis, would be recognized at, family insiders explained.
Lisa Marie sat beside Austin Butler — who played Elvis Presley in the award-winning film — at the 2023 Golden Globes just two days before she suffered cardiac arrest and tragically died at the age of 54 years old.
Two months before the Academy Awards, the mother-of-four underwent plastic surgery and started to take weight loss medication, which resulted in the singer dropping 40-50 pounds in the mere six weeks before the renowned event, sources continued to reveal to a news publication on Monday, January 30.
Family insiders additionally confirmed the upsetting news that Lisa Marie had started taking opioids again after struggling with addiction for several years.

So sad - and so like her father in more ways than we knew.

I heard about this, wow 40-50 lbs in 6 weeks is extremely drastic. Drugs
will do that and kill you too. Sad, she has two teenage twin daughters
now without their mother plus her oldest daughter.
She reportedly died broke, blew thru 100 million from Elvis in no time.
But now the fight over her life insurance policies is starting. Those girls
are minors and I am sure Priscilla will battle till the end to make sure
Graceland does not get into the hands of the twins' father.

The "fight" is over who becomes trustee of the money left for Lisa's remaining children. Supposedly Lisa died $24m in debt but the insurance policies are worth vastly more than that. Her estate IS the proceeds of those large policies. She did not die broke, if reporting is correct. Priscilla is asking to be named trustee of those assets on behalf of her grandchildren.

I saw on GMA this morning that Lisa Marie ammended her will shortly before her death and made her daughter Riley trustee instead of Priscilla who she was reportedly estranged from. Prisiclla is claiming the ammended will was never notorized or witnessed.

@SharkE "They still fighting over Prince's money, wonder ? no wife, or kids there."
He does have siblings, though, and that is why they are fighting. They all want their fair share of his estate.
