In the memoir, published earlier this month, Keough writes that she jumped on a plane to see her mother after her father told her that Presley was in an ambulance. He said paramedics believed she had suffered a heart attack.

While she was in the air, her father and husband informed her that Presley had been resuscitated and had a pulse.

Keough’s best friend was on the plane with her and told her, “People have heart attacks all the time.”

“I don’t think she’ll survive this,” Keough wrote in response. “I don’t think she wants that.”

Keough wrote that she felt like her mother was “between two worlds” at that moment as she balanced between revival and “fall.”

Then, on the plane, she closed her eyes and began speaking to her mother’s spirit.

“If you have to go, go,” she recalled. “If you have to stay, then stay.”

Her father then informed her that Presley had suffered another cardiac arrest, and after receiving no immediate news from her father, Keough described knowing that her mother had died. Shortly after, her father sent a text message to confirm the news.

The memoir details Presley’s health problems, including her opioid addiction, the cardiac arrest she suffered before her death, the removal of her uterus and her intestinal obstruction that ultimately led to her death.

“Unusual things kept happening to her health,” Keough wrote. “She got an infection and had to be hospitalized in November… Things started to get worse. She constantly complained about her stomach and nausea. She drank a lot of Pepto-Bismol, which was always next to her bed.

“I noticed that my sisters were worried too – they often asked me, ‘Is Mom going to be okay?'”

In the memoir, Keough wrote that there was a “strange energy” at the end of 2022. Presley died in January 2023 at the age of 54.
