And now in the wake of Lisa Marie's premature passing, Hoedel is questioning whether her death may share a genetic link to the deaths of her father and grandmother before her.
"I would hate to see her treated unfairly in death, as her father has been. It took decades to uncover just how ill Elvis was so that we could move past the narrative of him taking too many pills and dying in the bathroom. He deserved more than that and so does she." "It is clearly a story of survival, and she did the best she could as the daughter of the most famous person to ever live."Lisa Marie, like her father, struggled with substance abuse issues for much of her life.
Research she conducted found that Gladys had been seeing a cardiologist since at least 1956, and was also hospitalized for two weeks that same year with a mystery illness. Growing increasingly isolated and depressed as Elvis became a global sensation, Gladys began drinking excessively and taking diet pills - a downward spiral that many believe led to her hepatitis diagnosis and ultimately contributed to her death.
Contrary to popular folklore, Hoedel believes - like Elvis - the causes of Gladys' death and ill-health lie further up the family tree - as might Lisa Marie's. "We know Elvis had it because he found to be a carrier for Alpha-1 after his death, so it had to come from somewhere" she added.In her book, Hoedel examines the health issues of Elvis' grandmother, Doll Smith, who is believed to have suffered from Tuberculosis for more than 30 years.
