DNRs, Brain Death and Suicide Ideation

Lisa Marie Presley Died In Medically Induced Coma, Family Signed DNR

By most accounts, Lisa Marie Presley was dealing with deep depression in the ensuing months since the death of her 27 year old son.

Perhaps it’s true she simply couldn’t shake the darkness that enveloped her and, sadly, lost her will to live.

But why a DNR? And under whose direction did that occur?

If Ms. Presley didn’t want to go on living, she was certainly capable of making that decision and even acting upon it.
