On July 12, 2020, Elvis Presley’s only grandson Benjamin Keough died from a gunshot wound to the mouth The 27-year-old was the child of King Lisa’s only daughter Marie Presley And now the young man has just been buried by his grandfather in Graceland
The Memphis Mansion wrote on its official Facebook page: “Benjamin Storm Presley Keough was laid to rest in the Graceland Meditation Garden with his family, including his grandfather, Elvis Presley, his great-grandmother , Gladys Presley, her great-grandfather, Vernon Presley and great-great-grandmother, Minnie Mae Presley «
The Garden of Mediation is right next to the main house and is the final stop on the Graceland tour for fans
Elvis is buried between his grandmother Minnie and his father Vernon and presumably Benjamin’s body won’t be much further away in the private cemetery
Benjamin’s father is singer-songwriter Danny Keough, who was Lisa Marie’s first husband from 1988 to 1994
Their father is guitarist Michael Lockwood, the fourth husband of Lisa Marie, whom she married in 2006 and from whom she has been separated since 2016
When Elvis died in Graceland on August 16, 1977, his daughter was upstairs in the next room
The nine-year-old left the Memphis mansion in her will and in 1982 her mother Priscilla Presley (Elvis’ ex-wife) had it opened to the public

Speaking to USA Today, Lisa Marie said: « Sometimes there are rumors about the sale of [Graceland] And it will NEVER happen
Besides Graceland, Lisa Marie owns the contents of the Memphis Mansion, Elvis’ rewards, her clothes, and all items on display to the public.
Although open to touring, Elvis’ daughter still sees Graceland very much as her home and sometimes stays there
The Graceland floor is off-limits to the public as it was the king’s private area and where he died Nonetheless, Lisa Marie demands that these rooms be maintained as Elvis left them in 1977
