A posthumous memoir written by Lisa Marie Presley is bringing to light new details about how the late musician dealt with the death of her son, Benjamin Keough, in 2020.

In “From Here to the Great Unknown,” Presley said she kept Benjamin Keough’s body on dry ice in her Los Angeles home for two months after he died by suicide at age 27.

“My house has a separate casitas bedroom, and I kept Ben Ben there for two months,” Presley wrote in the book, according to NBC News. “There is no law in the state of California that says you have to bury someone immediately.”

She also said her family took a similar approach when mourning the death of her father, music legend Elvis Presley, in 1977.

“I have found a very empathetic funeral director. I told her that having my father around after he died was incredibly helpful because I was able to spend time with him and talk to him,” she wrote. “She said, ‘We’ll bring Ben Ben to you. You can have him there. ”

“I think it would scare anyone to death if their son was there like that,” she continued. “But not me.”

Lisa Marie Presley was still working on ‘From Here to the Great Unknown’ when she died last year at the age of 54. The book was co-authored by her daughter, actor Riley Keough, who used audio recordings left behind by her mother to complete the book. It.

The “Mad Max: Fury Road” star wrote in the book that her mother’s decision to keep her brother’s body at home gave the family “plenty of time to say goodbye to him, just as they did with her father.” had done.”

“And I would sit there with him,” Keough added.

The turning point, she said, came when both she and her mother decided to get tattoos similar to the one Benjamin Keough had on his collarbone. To keep the designs consistent, Presley invited the tattoo artist to her home to take a closer look at her son’s tattoos.

“I’ve had an extremely absurd life, but this moment is in the top five,” wrote Riley Keough. “Shortly after that, we all got the feeling from my brother that he didn’t want his body in this house anymore.”

Both Benjamin Keough and Lisa Marie Presley are now buried at Graceland, Elvis Presley’s estate in Memphis, Tennessee.

“From Here to the Great Unknown,” published Monday, contains a number of other striking revelations about the life of Lisa Marie Presley. Elsewhere in the book, she delved into her decision to marry Michael Jackson in 1994. She claimed that the King of Pop, who was 35 at the time, told her he was a virgin before their wedding.

“I think he kissed Tatum O’Neal, and had an affair with Brooke Shields that wasn’t physical other than a kiss,” she wrote.
