The world continues to mourn the loss of Lisa Marie Presley’s son Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide on July 12. A week after the unfortunate incident, Keough’s girlfriend Diana Pinto wrote an emotional tribute to her late boyfriend on Instagram. In her message, which came along with several photos of the couple, she wrote that she now knows the “true meaning of pain” after the tragic loss.
Pinto began his post by noting that Keough was “the most beautiful boy I have ever seen.” She continued to express how much she would miss Keough, citing some of her favorite memories of him in the process. “You make everyone around you light up the moment you walk into the room,” Pinto continued. “You touch every soul around you. You love your Sunday morning toons and chocolate milk. I promise to always honor you on luxury Fridays. Your laughter is heard around the world now. You made me the luckiest girl in the world, to have you, hug you, love you and be loved by you are the only things that have ever mattered. You are my whole world and my whole life, you live with me now every day in my heart, in my soul and in my mind. My partner My best friend. I will appreciate all the memories we have made together and will keep them close to my heart. “
Pinto went on to write that she thinks of Keough every day and that his passing, understandably, has been incredibly difficult for her. She added: “Please give me strength to keep going because I don’t know how I’m supposed to do this life without you.” Pinto ended her legend by writing that Keough will always be the love of her life, her “everything”.
Days after Keough was reported dead, it was confirmed that he died of an intraoral shotgun wound. He was 27 years old. His suicide reportedly occurred at a birthday party being held for Pinto and Ben Smith-Petersen, the husband of Keough’s sister Riley Keough. Following the news of his son’s death, Presley’s manager released a statement to Entertainment tonight She noted that “she is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and more than devastated, but she tries to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter, Riley.”
