Priscilla Presley reminisces about her son Navarone's near-fatal experience

In the first week of January 2023, the world was shaken by two tragic events that deeply affected the life of Priscilla Presley, the daughter of the legendary Elvis Presley.

First, Priscilla lost her beloved daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, at the age of 54. The news of her passing sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and beyond. In the aftermath, Priscilla found herself confronted with a new reality—she had a son who needed her.

As she grappled with her grief and loss, another unexpected incident occurred. Priscilla's son, Navarone Garcia, was attacked by a camel at a friend's animal sanctuary in California's San Fernando Valley. The camel's tooth came dangerously close to hitting Navarone's brain during the attack, causing significant bleeding.

Fortunately, a German shepherd at the sanctuary intervened, making the camel release Navarone. He was immediately rushed to the hospital, where doctors treated his head injury with 34 staples. Navarone, though shaken, survived the attack.

The timing of these events was particularly cruel. The camel attack on Navarone occurred just days before the death of Lisa Marie Presley. Priscilla found herself fearing for the life of another child, and the thought of losing both her children was unimaginable.

In the wake of these events, Priscilla has made some significant decisions. She has decided not to be around camels due to her son's attack, and she has written a memoir titled Softly as I Leave You: Life After Elvis. As a mother, she feels the need to be there for her children, and she has realised that she has a son who needs her now more than ever.

Navarone, too, has made a decision. He has decided not to be around camels anymore due to the attack. The incident has left a lasting impact on both of them, but they are resilient and determined to move forward.

These events serve as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing our loved ones. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Priscilla Presley and her family during this difficult time.
