The twenty
seven years-old was found dead in the toilet of the family’s upscale Calabasas
home in California.
Benjamin
Keough, Lisa Marie Presley’s son and Elvis Presley’s grandson died by suicide,
by putting a shotgun in his mouth and pulling the trigger.
The suicide
happened at his family’s $1.8million mansion on Sunday.
The LA County
Coroner’s office, according to DailyMail.com ruled the death as suicide on
Tuesday.
Benjamin reportedly
locked himself in a bathroom of the five bed, three-bathroom luxury property in
the early hours of Sunday, before killing himself.
The Coroner’s
office said an autopsy, which was completed on July 13, showed the cause of
death as ‘Intraoral shotgun wound’ and not a gunshot wound to the chest as
previously reported.
The location
of his suicide is harrowingly similar to the famously indecorous death of
Benjamin’s grandfather Elvis ‘The King’ Presley almost 43 years ago.
He too was
found in the toilet, unresponsive, lying face down in a pool of vomit, his
trousers around his ankles.
Benjamin’s
grandmother Priscilla, 75, married Elvis in 1967 but they divorced six years
later.
They had only
daughter Lisa Marie in 1968. Elvis died just nine years later.
Benjamin was
the son of musician Danny Keough, who married Lisa Marie in 1988 and divorced
her in 1994.
His mother,
who has three other children, had previously spoken of her son’s similarity to
her dad Elvis, calling their resemblance ‘uncanny’.
