Benjamin Keough’s last goodbye recalls the curse of the 27 Club
The grandson of Elvis Presley, Benjamin Storm Presley Keough, was laid to rest in the Meditation Garden at Graceland alongside his grandfather and family.
Mid-July, the death of Benjamin Keough, the 27-year-old son of Lisa Marie Presley and the grandson of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, was ruled a suicide by the Los Angeles County coroner.
“Benjamin Storm Presley Keough was laid to rest in the Meditation Garden at Graceland with his family including his grandfather, Elvis Presley, great-grandmother, Gladys Presley, great-grandfather, Vernon Presley and great-great-grandmother, Minnie Mae Presley,” (credit: Facebook).
The 27-year-old son of Lisa Marie Presley died Sunday morning, July 12, 2020, at his family’s Calabasas, California, home from a self-inflicted “intraoral shotgun wound,” according to the L.A. County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner.
Benjamin had locked himself in a bathroom on the family luxury property in the early hours of Sunday. The 27-year-old’s lifeless body sagged on the toilet. Elvis was also found lying unconscious on the master suite bathroom floor 43 years ago, on 16 August 1977.
Benjamin’s cause of death was an “Intraoral shotgun wound”.

These young artists' deaths bear a striking resemblance as both were young celebrities aged 27 and died from a gunshot to the head before having barricaded themselves…
