Benjamin Keough, 27, committed suicide in 2020, leaving Lisa Marie devastated. The difficulty in overcoming the loss was so intense that she decided to keep her son’s body at home. “They told us that if we were able to take care of the body, we could keep it at home,” Riley wrote. Lisa Marie wished she had time to say goodbye to her son, just like she did with his father, Elvis Presley.
