Lisa Marie Presley's son Benjamin Keough 'dead from apparent suicide at 27'

The grandson of Elvis Presley appears to have died on Sunday in Calabasas from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The youngest child of Lisa Marie and her ex Danny Keough has always shunned the limelight.

Law enforcement sources reportedly told TMZ that Ben died today (Sunday) in Calabasas from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Ben’s sister is actress and model Riley Keough, who is married to Mad Max star Ben Smith-Petersen.

Tragic: It’s being reported that Benjamin Keough, the grandson of Elvis Presley, died today from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Calabasas, California. He was just 27 years old.

Over 20,000 Americans will die by gun suicide this year alone.

the abuse he would have been putting up with may have been enough to push him over.

I realize this was suicide, but I think the people running that organization are corrupt enough to murder.
