Nope, she didn't. His then girlfriend Ginger Alden discovered him on the bathroom floor. She thought he was unconscious and phoned downstairs where some of Elvis' little helpers were making last preparations for Elvis' tour that would begin that day. Al Strada went upstairs and took one look, phoned down to Joe Esposito who joined him and Ginger in Elvis' bathroom. Although rigor mortis had already set in, they did call an ambulance and tried to resuscitate anyway, knowing that they were too late.
Elvis was rushed to Baptist Memorial and given extensive resuscitation, but his regular nurse Mrs. Cook came in and immediately saw he'd been dead for quite a while. Still the hospital staff felt it was their duty to try everything.
Lisa "only" witnessed the scene from the hallway and was alarmed when her granddad, Vernon, almost collapsed as well in Elvis' bathroom, upon viewing his son's body. She was quickly rushed out of there by assistants. She then proceeded to call Elvis' former girlfriend, Linda Thompson, to tell her that something was terribly wrong with her daddy and that she thought he was dead. She had some girlfriends over on her last days of her vacation with Elvis, and, oddly enough, spent the rest of the afternoon playing with her friends in the garden of Graceland.......
