Just three days after her son Benjamin Keough died of suicide, Lisa Marie Presley was seen leaving a Beverly Hills hotel with Keough’s girlfriend Diana Pinto.
The photos show the couple, both wearing face masks and sweatshirts, holding hands Wednesday as they strolled.
Earlier this week, the 27-year-old was reportedly killed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his Calabasas, California home.
On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Department of Medicine medical examiner ruled that his death was suicide, caused by an “intraoral shotgun wound.”
Keough’s death left his 52-year-old mother “completely heartbroken, inconsolable and more than devastated,” her manager, Roger Widynowski, said in a statement. “She adored that boy. He was the love of her life. “
Keough reportedly struggled with drugs and alcohol and had recently been in rehab.
He also reportedly struggled with the pressures of living up to the Presley family name.
“It is difficult when you have a lot of pressure with your family and you are up to a name and an image. It’s a lot of pressure, ”Keough’s friend Brandon Howard told People.
Keough’s ex-girlfriend Alexa Rohde also shared an emotional tribute on Instagram earlier this week.
Benjamin Storm, YOU. Always happy in the sun and in the water. And a laugh that made everyone happier, “he wrote.” You gave love to anyone who needed it. You were wise as a thousand-year-old man, but dumb as a 5-year-old boy.
