00:00 It's so sad.
00:02 I know. Don't talk anymore about it.
00:07 Priscilla Presley breaks down in an interview with Piers Morgan about the loss of her daughter
00:11 and grandson. Lisa Marie, the only child of Priscilla and late singer Elvis Presley, died
00:17 at age 54 in January. According to coroner records, she died from complications resulting
00:23 from small bowel obstruction. Her death followed the passing of her maternal grandmother, Anna
00:29 Iverson, at 95 in 2021, and also came more than two years after her son, Benjamin Keough,
00:36 died by suicide at 27. Priscilla explains the emotional toll such loss took on her.
00:43 I lost my mother, I lost my grandson, and I lost my daughter. And losing Ben was, was,
00:55 that was the hardest thing for her, losing Ben.
00:57 Because he took his own life.
00:58 He took his own life. And he was, I mean, he was the love of her life. That child, she
01:07 adored him. She would do anything for him. Anything. And we were in Memphis, we were
01:16 sitting up in the suite, and she said, "Mom, you know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't
01:22 know if I want to be here." And I go, "What are you talking about?" You know, like Ben.
01:28 And she'd go on about Ben and how she is still grieving. And this was a couple of months
01:35 before.
01:37 She was feeling almost suicidal herself.
01:39 I think so.
01:40 It's so sad.
01:41 I know. Don't talk anymore about it.
01:50 Back in January, just days after Lisa Marie was laid to rest during a public funeral at
01:55 Graceland, Priscilla shared a message of gratitude to fans, saying in a message on Twitter, "To
02:01 you, I'm truly overwhelmed with your words, your prayers, your love, and your support.
02:07 Thank you from the bottom of my heart in trying to help me get through this loss. Every parent
02:12 who has lost a daughter or son knows what a dark, painstaking journey it is."
02:17 In an earlier message to fans, Priscilla also expressed how positive thoughts can make an
02:22 impact. She said on January 23rd, "Thank you for all your condolences. You have touched
02:27 me with your words. It has been a very difficult time, but just knowing your love is out there
02:33 makes a difference."
