Benjamin Keough, the son of Lisa Marie Presley and grandson of Elvis Presley, has died. He was 27.

Presley’s representative Roger Widynowski said in a statement Sunday that she was “heartbroken” after learning about the death of her son.

TMZ reports that Keough died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound Sunday in Calabasas, California.

“She is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter Riley,” Widynowski said in the statement. “She adored that boy. He was the love of her life.”

Keough’s father is singer-songwriter Danny Keough, and his sister is actress Riley Keough of TV’s “The Girlfriend Experience” and the films “American Honey,” “It Comes at Night” and “The Lodge.”
