Shocking truth about Lisa Marie Presley’s death revealed.
Riley Keough has finally revealed what she believes really killed her mother, Lisa Marie Presley.
Lisa Marie’s struggles unveiled.
Lisa Marie was the only child of Elvis Presley and became an icon in her own right.
Throughout her life, she faced many personal struggles, including addiction, multiple marriages, and the intense pressure of her family legacy.
But nothing, according to Riley, compared to the heartbreak of losing her son.
Benjamin had been the rock of their family, but he was fighting his own demons.
Details of Benjamin’s death exposed.
In July 2020, he tragically shot himself in the family’s Calabasas mansion after an argument with his girlfriend.
An autopsy revealed Benjamin had alcohol and cocaine in his system at the time of his death.
It wasn’t the first time Benjamin had attempted to end his life—he’d tried six months earlier.
Benjamin’s struggles revealed.
He had spent three weeks in rehab four months before he died, but the program didn’t stick.
Benjamin had been in and out of rehab three times before, each attempt unsuccessful.
Lisa Marie Presley dies at age 54.
Lisa Marie passed away in January 2023, and the official cause of death was said to be a ‘small bowel obstruction.’
This complication reportedly stemmed from a recent bariatric surgery, according to the autopsy.
However, Riley, 35, has now opened up in a heartbreaking interview, sharing her own thoughts on her mother’s tragic passing.
Riley’s theory about mother’s death exposed.
In a raw and emotional conversation with People, she made a startling claim.
“My mom physically died from complications after surgery, but we all knew she died of a broken heart,” Riley confessed.
Lisa Marie’s struggle with son’s death detailed.
The broken heart Riley refers to has everything to do with the untimely death of her brother, Benjamin Keough, in 2020.
Benjamin died by suicide at just 27, leaving their mother, Lisa Marie, devastated beyond repair.
Riley explained that Lisa Marie struggled to find strength after Benjamin’s death but was never the same.
“She tried her best for me and my younger sisters, but we all saw how much pain she was in,” Riley said.
Lisa Marie opens up about son’s death.
Lisa Marie had openly admitted she would never truly move on from Benjamin’s death.
In a 2022 interview, she shared that the loss of her son haunted her daily.
Impact of son’s death on Lisa Marie explained.
For Riley, her mother’s grief was palpable, and she believes it took a physical toll on Lisa Marie’s health.
While the autopsy pointed to the surgery, Riley insists the emotional weight of losing Benjamin played a far larger role.
“Mom might’ve physically died from surgery, but emotionally? She died with Benjamin,” Riley said, tearing up.
Riley said watching her mom’s grief after his death was unbearable.
Details of memoir uncovered.
She and her mother had promised to write a memoir together, but after Lisa Marie’s death, Riley took on the project alone.
The book, From Here to the Great Unknown, is set to release on October 8.
Riley listened to taped recordings of her mother, honoring her promise to complete the book.
“It was incredibly difficult to write about Benjamin’s death, and then my mom’s decline,” Riley revealed.
“Mom wanted to write something that would make people feel less alone,” Riley said, her voice full of emotion.
The memoir is deeply personal, detailing love, loss, addiction, and family.
Despite the sadness, Riley hopes the book will connect with readers going through their own struggles.
