Remembering Benjamin Keough, The Son Of Lisa Marie Presley
Lisa Marie Presley‘s only son, Benjamin Keough, died by suicide on July 12, 2020 at the age of 27. His death devastated his mother and three sisters: Riley, Harper, and Finley.
Lisa Marie wrote an essay in 2022 about her loss, saying in part:
“Obviously, no parent chooses this road, and thankfully not all parents will have to become a victim to it — and I do mean VICTIM here. I used to hate that word. Now I know why.
I’ve dealt with death, grief and loss since the age of 9 years old. I’ve had more than anyone’s fair share of it in my lifetime and somehow, I’ve made it this far.
But this one, the death of my beautiful, beautiful son? The sweetest and most incredible being that I have ever had the privilege of knowing, who made me feel so honored every single day to be his mother?…No. Just no … no no no no …“
