Hallmark actress Priscilla Presley took to Instagram to remember her grandson, Benjamin Keough, on what would have been his 32nd birthday.
“You are missed sweet Ben,” Presley captioned an old photo of her and Keough on October 21, 2024.
Keough died by suicide in July 2020. According to TMZ, his autopsy showed that he died of a gunshot wound to the mouth. He was the only son of Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough. At the time of his death, Benjamin Keough was survived by his parents, his sister, Riley Keough, and his half-siblings, Harper and Finley Lockwood.
Lisa Marie Presley died in January 2023.
“It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” Priscilla Presley said in a statement given to the Associated Press. “She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known,” she added. Lisa Marie Presley was just 54 years old.
