KingstonsMom — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 09:18:48 GMT

3:57 PM PT -- Lisa's manager, Roger Widynowski, tells TMZ ... "She is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11 year old twins and her oldest daughter Riley. She adored that boy. He was the love of her life."

Lisa Marie Presley's son and Elvis Presley's grandson, Benjamin Keough, has died of an apparent suicide ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us Ben appears to have died Sunday in Calabasas from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Not much is known about him other than the fact that he's got a super-famous family.

He's the son of Lisa and musician Danny Keough -- and his sister is actress Riley Keough, who's been in a number of indie and horror films over the years, including 2019's "The Lodge."

Of course ... his grandparents are Elvis and Priscilla Presley.

My heart breaks for anyone who has to experience a family member that commits suicide. It happened w/my cousin's son last Thanksgiving and I got a first hand look at how it devastates a family. .

Unspeakably tragic.

Such a beautiful young face...it is heartbreaking to know he was so troubled.

Just so sad.

Suicide is devastating for the loved ones left behind (I know from experience).

It's amazing how much he looks like Elvis in that photo.

This is so sad. My heart hurts for Lisa. I think that suicide is so much harder to live with than say a car accident or something natural.

@DbinMD

It truly is, especially when there were no signs, no history of mental illness or alcohol/drug addiction known (in our case).

We still ask ourselves WHY? And did we miss something we should've seen?

It's something we'll truly never get over, the guilt is heartbreaking.

Looks like he used eye liner to make his eyes look more "Elvis" like.

What a shame.

27...isn't that the age at which many young celebs have died? Coincidence?

@esmerelda Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Jim Morrison come to mind.

The "27 Club" idea started with the death of Kurt Cobain, I believe.

May he rest in peace. He had to be a very troubled young man to take his own life.

@KingstonsMom

My husbands first wife committed suicide, leaving 3 children. At the time they were 13, 10 and 7. She had tried twice before. She did have a history of mental illness, You are right, the guilt is heartbreaking and it is something that you never get over. My husband lives with it, always wondering if he could have done more, or something that would have prevented it.
