Elvis Presley’s stepbrother David E Stanley looked back at the moment when the singer’s daughter Lisa Marie Presley found out her father died from heart failure.
Speaking to The Sun, he shared that Lisa had come to find him on the day of Elvis’ death on August 16, 1977.
He shared that he was playing pool when Lisa approached him saying: "Daddy is sick... we cannot wake him up."
David said: "I was at Graceland in the basement playing pool with a buddy of mine before things got busy as we were heading out on tour.
"A girl named Amber, Ginger's niece walked in with Lisa Marie and she said: 'David, Daddy is sick.'
"I replied: 'What is wrong with him?', and she said: 'We cannot wake him up.'
"And that was not a shock. I'd seen it happen many times before and I didn't panic.
"She told me people were with him, so I told my friend I'd run him home, because I suspected we may have to cancel a tour or make some arrangements.
"Anyway after dropping him off nearby, as I drove back into the gates of Graceland, an ambulance pulled in before me.
"They went to the front of the house and I drove to the back, and I started getting nervous. I didn't panic because I'd pulled him out of a dozen overdose situations.
"I ran up the steps, into his room, the bathroom where Elvis was laying in the fetal position. Vernon was at his feet moaning: 'My son is dead'.
"I saw his face buried in the carpet. I don't know whether he fell off the toilet when he had his heart attack."
