TRAGEDY struck the Presley family once again in July 2020 when it was announced that Elvis Presley's grandson, Benjamin Keough, passed away.
At the time, he was only 27 years old, leaving many to wonder what happened.
Who was Benjamin Keough?
Benjamin Storm Keough was born in Florida on October 21, 1992, and was famously known as the grandson of the King of Rock and Roll.
While the singer might have died in 1977, his legacy has since continued on, and his looks were well reflected in his late grandson.
“Ben does look so much like Elvis. He was at the Opry and was the quiet storm behind the stage," his mother, Lisa Marie Presley, told in 2020.

“Everybody turned around and looked when he was over there. Everybody was grabbing him for a photo because it is just uncanny.”
Though Benjamin came from a very famous family, he liked to keep his personal life out of the public eye.
However, he worked as a musician and did some acting work, including some voice work for the animated short Rod & Barry.
Benjamin also appeared in the 2005 documentary Elvis by The Presleys, where Elvis' friends and family shared happy memories of the singer.
What was Benjamin Keough's cause of death?
It was announced in July 2020 that Benjamin passed away at the age of 27.
At the time, Lisa's reps told that she was "completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated" by the tragic loss, adding that she was trying to stay strong for her oldest daughter Riley and her twins.
It was later determined that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to TMZ.
