Benjamin Keough, the son of Lisa Marie Presley and grandson of Elvis Presley, has died. He was 27 years old.
A representative for Lisa Marie issued a statement to The Associated Press saying she is “heartbroken.”
“She is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter Riley,” Roger Widynowski said in the statement. “She adored that boy. He was the love of her life.”
He apparently died by suicide, as first reported by TMZ.
Keough and his sister, Riley, were born to Presley and her former husband Danny Keough. She also had twins from another marriage.
