Elvis Presley’s grandson dead at 27 in an apparent suicide

Benjamin Keough, the grandson of rock and roll icon Elvis Presley, has died of an apparent suicide. He was 27.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Keough, the son of Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough, appeared to die of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Sunday in Calabasas, Calif.

A representative for Lisa Marie Presley 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,” the rep’s statement to the Daily News continued.

The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said officials responded to a “rescue response” call at about 6:30 a.m. Sunday.

“Upon their arrival, they located the victim suffering from one gunshot wound to the upper torso,” the department said. “The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.”

Like his famous grandfather, Keough was a musician. He signed a $5 million record deal in 2009.
