On August 16, 1977, entertainer Elvis Presley was found dead.  Since then, the perceived cause of death was polypharmacy (an overdose caused by a dozen different drugs.)  How could this happen?  Was it allowed or a deliberate o.d?  Was Elvis depressed enough to kill himself?

With all the problems Elvis had, it’s hard to imagine him killing himself.  Had his life reached a dead end?

Would Elvis have killed himself with daughter Lisa Marie in his home?

Boredom set in.  He saw most of those around him as exploiters after his wealth and fame.  It had been four to five years since his last hit single or album.  His main source of income was touring, but as can be seen in his last TV special, it was become harder to keep up the façade.

The broadcast of “Elvis in Concert” (Oct. ’77) would reveal the new fat Elvis.

Whether Elvis killed himself may never be known for sure.  What is known is what led up to it.  Since his 1973 divorce, a slide down to oblivion was caused by his wife leaving him for Mike Stone.  He couldn’t handle it.  The straw that broke the camel’s back:  a final scandal book titled “Elvis:  What Happened?” written by his former bodyguards.  The book was released on August 1.  Elvis died on August 16.  Coincidence?

The sycophants’, the enablers, the doctors, only made it worse and Elvis wouldn’t listen to the few who warned him to stop it.  Ultimately, he is to blame for not seeing what was happening to him.

Elvis last chance: fiancée Ginger Alden slept in the next room while Elvis lay dying.

His inner circle was unable to prevent his premature death at 42.

Elvis home: Graceland.  WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSES HIS OWN SOUL? Mark 8:36
