Benjamin Keough’s reported girlfriend screamed “Don’t do it” at around 3.30am on Sunday, at a party at Lisa Marie Presley’s $1.8million Calabasas home where he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A neighbour reportedly heard partying at 1am before hearing a distressed woman screaming, though they claim they did not hear a gunshot.
According to the Mail Online, a neighbour said: “I could hear somebody speaking really loud in the backyard. I looked outside and I saw what appeared to be his girlfriend outside talking to police, and she was pretty hysterical saying, ‘I can’t believe it.’
“She just kept swearing and saying, ‘I can’t believe it, I can’t believe it.’ She was saying, ‘I can’t believe he would do that to himself.’

“She said, ‘The family’s going to hate me,’ and, ‘They’re going to blame me.’
“I think she was feeling guilty for it happening… but I don’t want to speculate what caused it.”
It is not clear if the woman was the 27-year-old’s girlfriend, however the neighbour claimed they had seen her at the home regularly and they believed that the duo had been dating for at least two years.

Lisa Marie, who is the daughter of Elvis Presley, was not at home at the time of her son’s self-inflicted shooting.
Her representative said in a statement: “She is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter Riley. She adored that boy. He was the love of her life.”
Ben was pronounced dead at the scene on Sunday after he suffered from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, local authorities confirmed.
He was the son of Lisa Marie and Danny Keough, with the duo being married between 1988 and 1994.
Lisa’s oldest daughter Riley is an actress, having appeared in the likes of Mad Max: Fury Road and Riverdale.
She also has twin girls Harper and Finely with her ex-husband Michael Lockwood.
