Elvis Elvis Presley died 46 years ago last-place week … or did he?

We include it. We pose away busting this myth because it’s so out of escort and ridiculously unbelievable, it seems the likes of to a greater extent of an historical curiosity than a thing that people stock-still believe, non unlike the supposed faked deaths of Adolf Hitler, Jim Morrison, and Andy Kaufman.

Surely, no more one, especially after how comfortably the humankind got to cognize Elvis’ ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, in the  decades since and especially after the recent tragic decease of their only child, Lisa Marie Presley, noneffervescent believes this nonsense, right?

Suspicious Minds

Despite certifications of Elvis’ demise past his doctors and a coroner — despite thousands of viewers of his surface jewel casket — millions of people in one case believed that the Billie Jean King of John Rock n’ Roll faked his have death.

In the ’80s, Elvis was “everywhere,” as the strike Mojo Nixon strain observed. Elvis sightings came from Golden State amusement parks and a Kalamazoo, Mich., Burger King. Many believed they spotted him in the background knowledge of an aerodrome shot inward the 1990 pic Home Alone.

But piece a sizable portion of these believers feature since died, hundreds of thousands are stock-still ostensibly left. Seven combat-ready Facebook groups feature film some fluctuation of “Elvis is Alive” inwards their titles. The biggest, “Elvis is alive and that’s the truth,” has 10K members.

Judging from their posts, most members don’t needfully believe that an 88-year-old Elvis Elvis Aron Presley noneffervescent walks among us. But whether the 42-year-old edition expired on Aug. 16, 1977, on a Graceland toilet, is a thing of serious contention.

What Evidence Do They Have?

Though they’re rarified these days, Elvis sightings ease occur. In 2016, the video to a lower place was posted to YouTube. In it, a heavyset adult male in a lily-white beard, glasses, and a ballcap goes about his duties as a Graceland groundskeeper. At unity point, he appears to flash lamp deuce fingers to the camera. Commenters claimed this is some sorting of clew that he’s really Elvis.

This curtail has been viewed more than 2 1000000 times. That’s o'er half-dozen times the views that were earned by this subsequent YouTube interview with the groundskeeper inward question, whose nominate is Bill Barmer.

Also commonly cited as cogent evidence of Presley’s faked death are his unprocurable autopsy and toxicology reports. Elvis’ dad, Vernon, ordered them certain for 50 years. We don’t live the reason out for this, but cabal theorists title to. They say it’s because the deuce reports run afoul inward some way. Those reports are scheduled to live uncertain in 2027, and when they are, their conclusions are guaranteed non to fulfil any dead on target believers.

But the big clue is the misspelling of Elvis’ midriff name, as Aaron instead of Aron, on his tombstone at Graceland. How can a misapprehension the likes of that have mayhap been made unless someone was trying to pass that this is not the existent Elvis?

Actually, Henry Louis Aaron was Presley’s given middle name. The take turns spelling was invented past his parents to to a greater extent nearly fit the midsection identify of his stillborn duplicate brother, Jesse Garon Presley.

Later inward his life, Elvis reverted to using Aaron.

Why Would Elvis Play Dead?

Elvis grew tired of fame and wanted to live a relaxed lifetime forth from the public eye and his scurrilous manager, Col. Tom Parker.

So goes single theory. According to another, he requisite to leak a mob hit. In 2017, Gail Brewer-Giorgio, author of a 1988 volume called “Is Elvis Alive,” told Time magazine that Elvis Presley had been undercover work since 1976 for the FBI, which needed his assist to pass through a outlaw go-ahead called “the fraternity.”

Once the criminals discovered that Presley was a mole, he was whisked into attestor trade protection and the mankind was spoon-fed the story of his unlikely last from spunk failure at such a youth age.

“Do I cognize if Elvis is alive today?” Brewer-Giorgio told Time. “No, I don’t know. But I experience he didn’t conk on Aug 16.”

Except That …

None of the more than 760 files released past the FBI on Elvis Presley betwixt 1956 and 1980 mentions his ever workings with the federal agency.

More significantly, when he died, Elvis  suffered from sorely obvious obesity — weighing near 350 lbs. — and spartan drug addiction.

Both potential took a tremendous toll on his heart.

In the shoemaker's last VII months of his life-time alone, Dr. St. George Nichopoulos, Presley’s personal physician, reportedly wrote over 10,000 prescriptions for his to the highest degree famous patient. They were for amphetamines, barbiturates, narcotics, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, laxatives, and hormones.

During his on-going residency at the Las Vegas Hilton — which ended on Dec. 12, 1976, ogdoad months before his demise — Elvis would have the pharmacy at the Landmark Hotel take the air his drugs crossways the street to his hotel penthouse. When he wasn’t inward Vegas, the Landmark would mail service them to Graceland or wheresoever Elvis was.

Elvis’ favorite drugs were Valium and a powerful painfulness comforter called Dilaudid, which was so serious that doctors usually reserved it for end-stage malignant neoplastic disease patients. Elvis reportedly ordered it in liquidity constitute and injected it with syringes provided past the Landmark.

In 1993, “Dr. Nick” had his medical permission permanently revoked past the Volunteer State Board of Medical Examiners for overprescribing medications — though he been acquitted of the same charge years earlier, in Elvis’ case.

At Elvis’ autopsy, a four-month-old impacted make was also found lodged in his big intestine. This led Dan Warlick, who attended the autopsy as the chief investigator for Tennessee’s chief medical examiner, to speculate that he died not from a dose o.d. but from a take form of “Valsalva’s maneuver,” a nervous strain that intensely compresses the chest.

If someone has underlying mettle disease, according Warlick, and so simply straining to defecate can buoy wreak on a fatal nerve arrhythmia or pump attack.

If Elvis Elvis Aron Presley in some manner — for whatever illogical conclude that made sensory faculty only to him — managed to faux his own decease on Aug. 16, 1977, and so the sad fact is that he in all probability would make died on Aug. 17, 1977.
