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.
