Benjamin Keough's cause of death has been confirmed by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office.

The 27-year-old, who was the son of Lisa Marie Presley and grandson of the late Elvis Presley, was found dead in Calabasas, California, on Sunday.

After an autopsy, his cause of death was listed as a shotgun wound and his manner of death was listed as suicide.

Following his death, Lisa Marie's manager said she was "heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated".

"She adored that boy. He was the love of her life," Roger Widynowski said, adding that she was "trying to stay strong" for her three daughters.

Benjamin was the younger of the two children Lisa Marie Presley had with her first husband, musician Danny Keough, before their divorce in 1994. The other is Mad Max actress Riley Keough, 31.

Lisa Marie had previously described Keough's resemblance to her famous father as "just uncanny".

Lisa Marie Presley was known by many for being Elvis Presley's daughter, but she was also mom to four kids of her own: Riley Keough, Benjamin Keough, Finley Lockwood and Harper Lockwood.

The singer, who died on Jan. 12, 2023, at the age of 54 after she was hospitalized for a possible cardiac arrest, described herself as "ferociously protective" of her kids. "I just smother them in love," she shared while speaking to Healthy Living in 2014. "They are my priority. That's what I do. That's what I care most about. I keep them close to me and make sure they are happy and healthy."

Lisa Marie welcomed daughter Riley and son Benjamin with her ex-husband Danny Keough, whom she was married to from 1988 to 1994. In 2008, she welcomed twin daughters Finley and Harper with then-husband Michael Lockwood, though the two divorced in 2016.
