At the time, sources revealed he’d been ‘struggling’ and that his death, while devastating, was not a ‘huge surprise’ to his mother or other relatives.
Surveillance footage showed him having an argument with his girlfriend, Diana Pinto, in the backyard of their home.
He then went inside, locked himself in a bathroom, placed a gun in his mouth and shot himself.Â

Pinto heard the gunshot, went inside and had to use a bobby pin to gain access to the bathroom. She found him dead and called police.
It’s unclear how much alcohol or cocaine he had in his system but there were traces of both, according to the report which was released by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office.
The report also described Keough’s history with mental illness.Â

Keough was the son of Lisa Marie and musician Danny Keough, her first of four husbands. The pair were together from 1988 until 1994.
Benjamin’s grandmother Priscilla, 75, married Elvis Presley in 1967 but they divorced six years later. They had only daughter Lisa Marie in 1968. Elvis died just nine years later.
