Elvis Presley’s only grandson died Sunday, his mother Lisa Marie Presley’s manager confirmed, with local media reporting the death as an apparent suicide.
Benjamin Keough, 27, was found in Calabasas near Los Angeles and had a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police sources told TMZ.
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said officials responded to a “rescue response” call about 6:30am on Sunday on the 24800 block of Alexandra Court in Calabasas.
“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.”
Authorities identified the victim as a white male in his 20s without releasing a name.
Manager Roger Widynowski gave no details about the death, saying that Lisa Marie Presley – Elvis’s only child from his marriage to actor Priscilla Presley – was “heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated”.
