Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of the singer Elvis Presley, reveals in a memoir published after his death that she was unable to cope with the pain of losing her son, Benjamin Keough, who committed suicide at the age of 27. age. In “From Here to the Great Unknown – A Memoir”, the work completed by her daughter Riley Keough after her mother’s death in January 2023, the American admits that she kept a room at 12 degrees to preserve the body, and decided where he would be buried.
“There is no law in the state of California that requires immediate burial,” it reads. In the book, she addresses how difficult it was to continue living after her tragic death and that it was her daughters, Riley, 35, and twins Harper and Finley Lockwood, 16, who kept her alive .
Because he had his son’s body at home, the salvation was “not so hard”. During this period, he hired a tattoo artist to look at his body and get inspiration for a new tattoo.
Benjamin was only buried on the day when “everyone felt the tremor” and “realized it was time to lay him to rest”. A funeral was then held in Malibu, so that he could be buried next to his grandfather. Lisa Presley died in January 2023, aged 54, after suffering a cardiac arrest, and was buried in the same place.
The work also mentions the alcohol consumption problems that Benjamin Keough struggled with. After his death, the sisters discovered a message he had written but never delivered: “I think there’s something wrong with me, mentally or something. I think I have a mental health problem.”
