“It was 4 a.m. I was supposed to be asleep, actually. He found me,” Spooked, she ran off to her room, where Elvis came by a couple minutes later and kissed her goodnight. “That was the last time I saw him alive,” she revealed to a source for The National ENQUIRER.

Later, when she went to see her father, nine-year-old Lisa Marie stumbled on Elvis’ corpse — being attended to by galpal Ginger Alden — lying facedown on the carpet next to the toilet. Terrified, she ran to the phone and called his ex-girlfriend Linda Thompson.

“My daddy’s dead!” Thompson recalls breathless Lisa Marie screaming into the phone. “He’s smothered in the carpet!” She found odd solace in her dad’s lifeless body. “His body was in the house for three days and there was something very oddly comforting about that, which made it not necessarily real for me,” she says.

But Lisa Marie also recalls her heartbreak as she watched the father she adored transform from the dashing King of Rock ’n’ Roll into a drug-addled trainwreck. Being a child, she was not totally aware that the 42-year-old father she worshipped was crumbling.

“I didn’t know then what was going on. I wish I had. I didn’t have any clue of what was really happening,” she said. In stark contrast to his earlier self, Elvis’ weight exploded due to wild binges on fatty fried foods and sugary treats. He was also addicted to prescription pills.

His adoring little girl eventually noticed her beloved dad’s bulging belly, and the sight of his 350-pound body sent chills down her spine. “I remember first seeing his stomach and worried to death over that,” she said.

Lisa Marie pleaded with her father “don’t die” in heartbreaking poems she scribbled in her little-girl handwriting and began checking on him constantly to see if he was OK. Her alarm grew as he turned weak and helpless. “I’d find him in these bad states,” she recalled.

“Out of nowhere, he would just start falling, and I’d have to go run around and catch him. “He was about six-foot-two and quite heavy, and I’m holding him up. It was just starting to become all too common.” She also realized “he was not happy.” Then came the trauma of finding him dead.

The official cause of death was a heart attack. But 11 prescription drugs were found in his blood, including sedatives, barbiturates and codeine. As The ENQUIRER reported, Priscilla claimed The King wanted to die! He was losing his losing battle with obesity and pill addiction and aware his bad habits were killing him, Priscilla said.
