Following the death of Lisa Marie Presleyโs son, old clips have been resurfacing on the Internet. One of them is a video of Benjamin Keough greeting paparazzi with Michael Jackson in the 1990s. Fans may remember that Lisa Marie and Michael had a 2-year-long marriage. In the video, Ben is seen walking with his mom and then-step-father.
Michaelโs father, Joe Jackson, and Benโs sister, Riley, can also be seen stringing along in the video. The video was taken in 1997, which wouldโve made Ben about 5 years old at the time. Ben, who has blonde hair in the video, can be seen waving and smiling at the camera as he passes by.
Benโs cause of death was officially determined as a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Lisa Marieโs manager issued a statement following the horrific news. The statement says that โshe is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter, Riley.โ The statement adds that โshe adored that boy,โ and that he โwas the love of her life.โ

One of Benโs friends, Brandon Howard, also spoke highly of him following the news. โHe is a wonderful, magical person. Itโs just one of the reasons why this is so shocking, and heโs the very person that would be there for anybody. If you need him, heโll crash on your couch for three weeks just to make sure that youโre doing OK.โ
Howard also calls his late, long-time friend โmulti-faceted.โ He says, โHe can go from being, like, the scholar to the wild guy, to the amazing brother that you never had. โฆย He was so gifted in so many ways. Youโre lucky to know him, to even be around him.โ
One thing is for certain, that Ben was surrounded by people who loved him. May he rest in peace.
