Benjamin Keough

WHAT DID SCIENTOLOGY HAVE TO DO WITH BEN’S DEATH?

It’s a sad day for Elvis Presley’s family. Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter, actress Riley Keough, posted this photo as a tribute to her brother Benjamin on July 12, the day he died by suicide at the age of 27. (two years ago) She wrote: Not an hour goes by that I don’t think of you and miss you. Benjamin looked a LOT like his grandfather Elvis and was even offered a record contract by Universal at the age of 17. Nothing came of it, and he struggled with drugs, alcohol, and depression. (Apparently the subject of higher education never came up in that Scientology family.) Ben actually BLAMED Scientology for many of his problems. He said it “messes you up.” After he died, his devastated mother Lisa Marie and the rest of his family split from Scientology. He was buried at Graceland.

Anorexia Benjamin Keough Riley Keough Weight

RILEY KEOUGH IS NOT EATING HER WAY THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS

Did NOT recognize Riley Keough in this photo of her leaving the Chanel Film Benefit Gala at the MoMa in New York because she looks so skinny! It seems her fans have been chatting incessantly online about her 25 pound weight loss. Some say Elvis’s granddaughter started losing weight because she was devastated after her brother Benjamin Keough’s suicide last year. Others have decided that she’s anorexic. Since most people would be thrilled to lose weight, we hope she’s happy with herself. Certainly she can indulge over the holidays more than the rest of us!

RILEY KEOUGH SAYS GOODBYE TO HER BROTHER

Riley Keough continues mourning the loss of her brother Benjamin, who tragically took his own life at the age of 28 last July. He was the only male in the family who resembled his grandfather Elvis Presley. Riley posted this photo with the message: “Happy Birthday Beautiful Angel.”

Benjamin Keough Elvis Presley Lisa Marie Presley Scientology Suicide

ELVIS’S GRANDSON WAS CURSED WITH MORE THAN HIS LOOKS AND ADDICTIONS

It seems that Scientology probably had a lot to do with Benjamin Keough’s recent suicide. The 27 year old was raised in the church until his mother Lisa Marie left in 2014 and some say he paid the ultimate price for that involvement. The church does not recognize mental health issues or treatment – the kind of problems that run in his family. Ben was recently in rehab for alcohol and drugs and had a group of friends over to his mother’s luxurious Calabasas house the night he died. (Lisa Marie was not there.) At 3:30 AM there were screams and Ben’s girlfriend Diana Pinto (above) was heard pleading with him NOT to do it. Police reported that he died from a gunshot wound to the upper torso.

ELVIS’S GRANDSON BENJAMIN KEOUGH HAS MUSICAL ASPIRATIONS

Three generations of Presleys hit the club scene in London this week. Lisa Marie Presley has been in town collaborating and performing with Richard Hawley and she brought along her mom Priscilla and her son Benjamin Keough, 17, (Riley’s brother) for a night on the town. (Lisa looks very strange.) Ben is recording an album and some people think he resembles his grandfather Elvis. We see a LITTLE Elvis in him, but not enough. Priscilla’s kids and grandchildren can do pretty much anything they want, since the money from Elvis’s estate just keeps pouring in.
