Benjamin Keough Obituary

Benjamin Keough was an American socialist who is best known as the grandson and look-alike of legendary musician and cultural icon, Elvis Presley.

He occasionally accompanied his mother and grandmother, as well as his elder sister to various events and media appearances.

Even though Benjamin made only occasional public appearances, neither the media nor Elvis Presley fans missed any opportunity to gush over his resemblance to his musician grandfather.

He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound during his girlfriend’s birthday party at his mother’s Calabasas home on July 12.

An autopsy report confirmed that the cause of death was a shotgun wound and the manner of death has been ruled suicide. He was also tested for alcohol and cocaine at the time of his death.
