‘Help Me I`m Flamin`!’ A Fat Elvis ODs On Prescription Drugs!

I love Elvis, you love Elvis. But when you look closely at the circumstances of his death, you can see why the situation was covered up… at the time. He died on August 16th, 1977 at his beautiful home, Graceland, in Memphis, Tn. His girlfriend, Ginger, said that he retired to his bathroom to catch up on some reading, a book about the Shroud of Turin. The cause of death was POLYPHARMACY, as it is now described *(we were in denial in 1977). Elvis did have a massive heart attack, but this was brought on by a collision of pharmaceutical drugs, even more than he normally ingested. According to Albert Goldman in his book “Elvis,” The King ingested the following drugs on the day that he died: Quaaludes, Valium, Valmid, Chlorpheniramine, Demorol, Hycodan, Dilaudid, Amytal, Carbital, Seconal, & Placidyl. It seems as if Elvis had a sleeping problem, but not this time. “A hunka hunka burnin` love. A hunka hunka burnin` love.”

My best theory is that Elvis lost the will to live, could not accept, at all, Priscilla`s rejection, and literally poisoned himself to death with ‘medicine’ and high cholesterol foods, like peanut butter, jelly, and bacon sandwiches. Also, Dr. Nichopolous must take some of the blows of blame. He was too free in doling out the prescriptions. The King was only forty-two years of age at the time of death, and weighed a whopping 250 pounds. The autopsy revealed that his arteries were totally clogged and “his liver so diseased that it looked like pate de foie gras.” (Goldman) Everyone knew that Elvis was a chronic drug addict *(The King thought of it as just his medicine), even his father Vernon. He tried to kick the habit several times, but was tricked by the enablers around him. “We`re caught in a trap, I can`t walk out, because I love you too much baby.”
