Lisa Marie Presley Reveals Son's Body Kept Home

In her posthumous memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, Lisa Marie Presley reveals her decision to keep the body of her son, Benjamin Keough, at home on dry ice for two months after his suicide in 2020. Presley, who was deeply affected by the loss, chose this unconventional approach to have more time to say goodbye, drawing parallels to her own experience with her father, Elvis Presley. Both she and her daughter, Riley Keough, emphasize the importance of this extended grieving period, noting that California law permits such arrangements. The memoir illustrates Presley's struggle with the decision of where to bury Benjamin, ultimately choosing Graceland, where she would later be laid to rest herself. Lisa Marie expressed that while the situation may seem shocking to others, it brought her comfort and allowed her to continue 'parenting' her son. The memoir serves as a poignant reflection on love, loss, and the complexities of grief.
