Elvis Presley's grandson and Lisa Marie Presley's son, Benjamin Keough, has died from what police are reporting as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.  

According to the Daily Mail the 27-year-old was found by police with a single injury to the upper torso at around 6.30 am on Sunday at his mother's Calabasas mansion in California.

Lisa Marie's manager, said: 'She is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter Riley. She adored that boy. He was the love of her life.'   

Benjamin was the son of Lisa Marie and musician Danny Keough, he bore an uncanny resemblance to his late grandfather Elvis Presley.

Footage of Keough and his siblings featured in the 2012 music video for Lisa Marie Presley’s ‘duet’ with Elvis’ on his 1954 track ‘I Love You Because’.

There had been reports in the media previously that Keough battled with depression.

May you RIP Benjamin.
