The sudden death of Benjamin Keough shakes the whole family

Benjamin has been able to keep a pretty low profile while being the grandson of Elvis Presley. However, many people recognize Benjamin whenever Lisa would post photos of them together because he closely resembles his famous grandfather. Lisa has addressed this in the past, saying, “Ben does look so much like Elvis. He was at the Opry and was the quiet storm behind the stage. Everybody turned around and looked when he was over there. Everybody was grabbing him for a photo because it is just uncanny.”

Benjamin was also reportedly a musician and scored a record deal back in 2009. He also has a few acting credits, but not much else is known about him as he didn’t have an active presence on social media.

Lisa Marie speaks out

Lisa has since spoken out on the death of her son, saying she is “devastated.” Her rep, Roger Widynowski, tells PEOPLE: “She is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter Riley.” He continues, “She adored that boy. He was the love of her life.”

Rest in peace, Benjamin. Prayers to the Presley/Keough family during this very difficult time.
