Presley received emergency medical attention on Thursday morning for what might have been a heart arrest. A paramedic response to the 5900 block of Normandy Drive in Calabasas for the treatment of a woman in her 50s who was not breathing was confirmed by a representative for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Once they noticed "signs of life," the paramedics stopped performing CPR and took the woman to a nearby hospital for "urgent medical attention."
