Lisa Marie Presley’s son and Elvis Presley’s grandson Benjamin Keough dies at 27
Lisa Marie Presley’s son and Elvis Presley’s grandson, Benjamin Keough, has died at the age of 27.
TMZ reports Benjamin took his own life on Sunday in Calabasas, California.
In a statement to the website, Lisa’s manager, Roger Widynowsk, said: “She is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11 year old twins and her oldest daughter Riley. She adored that boy. He was the love of her life.”
The son of Danny Keough, Benjamin followed in his famous family’s footsteps and was also a musician. He also acted in a short film called Rod and Barry.
Benjamin kept quite a low profile, but was known to look almost identical to his famous grandfather.
“He does [look so much like Elvis]!” Lisa Marie told CMT in 2012. “He was at the Opry and was the quiet storm behind the stage. Everybody turned around and looked when he was over there. Everybody was grabbing him for a photo because it is just uncanny.”
