Priscilla Presley Breaks Silence on Grandson's Tragic Death

Priscilla Presley is breaking her silence about the tragic death of her grandson Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide earlier this month. The 75-year-old spoke out on Wednesday in a Facebook post.

"These are some of the darkest days of my family’s life. The shock of losing Ben has been devastating. Trying to put all the pieces together of all the possible whys has penetrated my soul. Each day I wake up I pray it will get better. Then, I think of my daughter and the pain she is going through as she was a doting mother," Priscilla wrote.

"Ben’s father, Danny, who is completely lost, as Ben was his only son. Riley, so loving and so close to him; Harper and Finley, who absolutely adored Ben. Navarone, who struggles deeply with loss and death," she continued. "Rest in peace, Ben. You were loved."

Priscilla's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, had Keough and a now 31-year-old daughter, Riley, with her former husband Danny Keough. She also had twins from another marriage.

Taking to Instagram, Riley remembered her brother in a heartfelt post shared on Sunday.

"Mornings are the hardest. I forget you’re gone. I can’t cry because of the fear that I will never stop. A pain that’s new to me," she wrote.

"I hope you give me the strength to eat. I hope you’re cradled in love. I hope you feel my love. I hope you feel god," Riley continued. "You are god. I can’t believe you’ve left me. Not you sweet Ben Ben. Anyone but you. I guess this is true heartbreak. I hope we meet again."

Ben died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the early hours of July 12. The incident took place at the family's luxury home in Calabasas, California, and it has since emerged that there was a party at the residence and that his girlfriend was reportedly heard hysterically screaming "don't do it" shortly before the 27-year-old died.
