How did Elvis Die?
Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977 in the bathroom of his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee. He was 42 at the time of death. He had been on the toilet, but fallen off onto the floor, where he lay. Panicked, his staff contacted an ambulance, which rushed him to nearby Baptist Memorial Hospital, where, after several attempts to revive him, he died at 3:30 pm CST. His autopsy was performed at 7:00 pm.
The official coroner's report lists "cardiac arrhythmia" as the cause of Presley's death, but this was later admitted to be a ruse entered into by the Presley family along with autopsy physicians Dr. Jerry T. Francisco, Dr. Eric Muirhead and Dr. Noel Florredo to cover up the real cause of death, a cocktail of ten prescribed drugs, taken in doses no doctor would prescribe:The painkillers Morphine and Demerol.
Chloropheniramine, an antihistamine.
The tranquilizers Placidyl and Vailum.
Finally, four drugs were found in "significant" quantities: Codeine, an opiate, Ethinamate, largely prescribed at the time as a "sleeping pill," Quaaludes, and a barbituate, or depressant, that has never been identified. It has also been rumored that Diazepam, Amytal, Nembutal, Carbrital, Sinutab, Elavil, Avental, and Valmid were found in his system at death.The phrase "cardiac arrhythmia," in the context of the coroner's report, means little more than a stopped heart; the report initially tried to attribute the arrhythmia to cardiovascular disease, but Elvis' own personal physician has stated that Presley had no such chronic problems at the time. Most of Elvis' many health problems can and have been traced back to rampant abuse of prescription drugs. Elvis had visited his dentist on August 15th to have a temporary crown put in; it has also been suggested that the codeine the dentist gave him that day resulted in an anaphylactic shock that assisted in his death. (He had suffered allergic reactions to the drug previously.)

Elvis From 1958-1959
July 2, 1958“King Creole,” Elvis’ fourth motion picture opens nationally and the reviews are the best he will ever have for his acting. Its impressive list of co-stars and supporting cast includes Carolyn Jones, Walter Matthau, Dean Jagger and Vic Morrow. It becomes a top five film at the box office. The movie is set in New Orleans and based upon the Harold Robbins novel, "A Stone for Danny Fisher." The film will come to be regarded as Elvis’ finest film, his greatest acting performance, and proof of his potential to have become a respected serious actor, though the realization of this desire will remain forever out of his grasp.
August 8, 1958Gladys Presley becomes ill and returns to Memphis via train to be hospitalized with acute hepatitis. Elvis is granted emergency leave and arrives in Memphis on the afternoon of August 12. He visits her that night, and the next day and night. A few hours after Elvis goes home to Graceland to rest, she dies in the early hours of August 14 at age 46. Her body lies in state at Graceland that afternoon. Services are at the Memphis Funeral Home on the 15, with the Blackwood Brothers singing "Precious Memories" and "Rock of Ages," two of Gladys Presley’s favorite hymns. She is laid to rest at Forest Hill Cemetery, a few miles down the road from Graceland. Elvis is devastated.
August 24, 1958Elvis reports back to Fort Hood.
September/October 1958Elvis boards a troop train to New York on September 19, and then later boards the USS Randall and sails to Germany, arriving on October 1. He will be stationed in Friedberg for 18 months, maintaining an off-base residence in Bad Nauheim, shared with his father, grandmother and some friends from Memphis. He finds the fans in Europe to be as enthusiastic as those in the U.S.
January 8, 1959Elvis is interviewed off-camera via trans-Atlantic telephone by Dick Clark on “American Bandstand” on ABC-TV. The show commemorates the star’s 24th birthday. Later in January, the family moves from a hotel to a rented house. Also, Elvis poses with actress Vera Tschechowa and the March of Dimes poster child. Colonel Parker continues to keep Elvis’ career alive with promotions and hit record releases.
March 3 – 5, 1959On a three-day leave, Elvis travels to Munich where he visits actress Vera Tschechow and the Moulin Rouge.
June 13 – 27, 1959Elvis visits Paris and Munich.
August 15, 1959Captain Joseph Beaulieu moves from Texas to Weisbaden Air Force Base near Friedberg, Germany, accompanied by his wife and children, including his 14 year-old stepdaughter, Priscilla Ann. Priscilla is the only child from Ann Beaulieu’s marriage to her first husband, James Wagner, a Navy pilot who was killed in a plane crash when Priscilla was an infant.
September 13, 1959Through a mutual friend, Priscilla is invited to a party at Elvis’ home soon after her arrival in Germany. They meet and the rest is history.

Elvis From 1966-1967
January 1966
MGM extends Elvis’ contract for four more movies. Plans are made to add onto the house what is now known as the trophy room to accommodate Elvis’ slot-car tracks. On January 22, 1966, Elvis and Priscilla, along with their friends, build a huge snowman on the front lawn.

He is especially interested in folk music. Elvis has also purchased a Greyhound bus that is now being customized by George Barris.
March 30, 1966 “Frankie and Johnny” opens nationally and doesn’t do particularly well. The soundtrack album goes to #20.

Elvis, his entourage and their wives have become interested in horseback riding after Elvis purchased a horse for Priscilla as a gift. The hobby has outgrown the pasture at Graceland. Over the months to come, Elvis and the gang enjoy spending a lot of time at the Circle G. It becomes a happy diversion for Elvis as his frustration and unhappiness over the state of his career reaches its height.

Elvis Presley Picture
Elvis Presley memorobilia is one of the most popular collectibles in the history of the United States and througout the world. People collect anything that has Elvis on it.
One of the most popular things that people collect are photogogarpahs or prints. Everywhere Elvis went there were flashing lights from cameras, so there is an endless amount of photographs available to be collected.
The best place to purchase photos of Elvis is at elvisphotos.com. This is the official Elvis Presley stock photography gallery. Also, elvisphotos.com is the only place where you can find photographs from the archives of Elvis Presley Enterprises. Featured are hundreds of black and white photos, as well as color photos. The photographs span throughout his entire career, including early years, TV appearances, and concert action shots. These photos are available for licensing for advertising photography, corporate image, and editorial purposes.
There are certain areas of Elvis' home, Graceland, that have always been private. The 2nd floor has always been kept completely private. It has been secluded from all tours, television cameras, and photographs. This is the last thing about Elvis that has not been revealed. This is the portion of the home where Elvis spent most of his time. The upstairs portion of Graceland is a great mystery that mystifies all Elvis fans.
Many people wonder, "why can't we go upstairs at Graceland?" It has been locked up since 1977. All of Graceland's employees are unable to go upstairs, even the ones with the longest tenure. The only people that are allowed to go up there are Priscilla, Lisa Marie, and the curator of Graceland. While touring Graceland, everyone walks right past the stairs that lead to the mystery area. There is a guard standing by at the bottom of the stairs at all times, as well as at the top of the stairs. No one has ever made it past this security.
Actor Nicholas Cage was able to get upstairs at Graceland, by marrying Lisa Marie Presley. He even got to go into Elvis' bedroom and sit at the King's "Throne." This is the position Elvis was in at the time of his death. Cage was the only celebrity to make it upstairs at Graceland. Many celebrities have been turned down, even President Clinton.
Everything in Elvis' bedroom is said to have been left the way it was when he died. None of the items have been touched, not even the underwear or socks. There are still toiletries in the bathroom, such as cologne, toothpaste, medication, hair dye, and deodorant.
There are pictures of the upstairs of Graceland at linkydinky.com/graceland. It is not known for sure whether these pictures are real or not, but the site claims that they are the only real pictures of the 2nd floor of Graceland in circulation.
From the most common Elvis pictures, to the most rare, there are thousands and thousands of pictures. Trying to obtain every Elvis picture ever made would be almost an impossible task. My advice is to just find a few favorites and buy them. Hang them on your wall to enjoy. Long live the King.

Elvis Birthday
During a public rally, the Minnesota rep. accidentally wished the late singer a "happy birthday" on Tuesday.
Minnesota rep. Michele Bachmann flubbed Elvis Presley's birthday on Tuesday, wishing him a "happy birthday," CNN reports our editor recommends

During a public rally in Spartanburg, SC, she declared, "Let's all say, 'Happy Birthday' to Elvis Presley today," during a "Join Team Bachmann" rally. Tuesday, Aug. 16 actually marked the 34th anniversary of Presley's death. (He died in 1977.)
