Benjamin Keough's Tragic Passing
As Closer Weekly previously reported, Ben tragically passed away at the age of 27 on July 12 after suffering a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The autopsy confirmed the cause of death. At the time, deputies responded to a "rescue response" call at a home in Calabasas, California. They found Ben suffering from a gunshot wound and pronounced him dead on the scene.
“[Lisa Marie] is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated, but trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter, Riley,” Lisa’s representative Roger Widynowski told People shortly after Ben’s death. “She adored that boy. He was the love of her life.”
Since the tragic loss, Lisa’s younger children have been by her side, offering their unwavering support. “The family is gathering together,” a source exclusively told Closer Weekly in July. “The family is devastated. They’re all worried about Lisa.”
