"Mornings are the hardest” she wrote. “I forget you’re gone. I can’t cry because of the fear that I will never stop. A pain that’s new to me. You. There are no words for you. Angel is the closest I could think of. Pure light. Baby brother. Best friend. Wild man. Intellectual. Witness to my life. Twin soul. Protector. Too sensitive for this harsh world. I hope you give me strength to endure the giant hole you’ve left in my heart. I hope you give me the strength to eat. I hope you’re cradled in love. I hope you feel my love. I hope you feel god. You are god. I can’t believe you’ve left me. Not you sweet Ben Ben. Anyone but you. I guess this is true heartbreak. I hope we meet again.”
According to TMZ, the L.A. County Medical Examiner-Coroner's Office confirmed Keough’s brother diedof a self-inflicted shotgun wound to his mouth, which was ultimately classified as a suicide. The 27-year-old was the only grandson of the legendary “Jailhouse Rock” singer.
