Elvis Death - Elvis Presley Death
- Elvis Presley Died 16 August 1977
Elvis Presley died on 16 August 1977 at
his home Graceland in Memphis. His body was found by girlfriend, Ginger Alden in the
upstairs bathroom. Ginger summoned Joe Esposito & Al Strada and Dr Nichopoulos. All efforts to revive Elvis were
futile. Elvis had probably been dead for many hours by the time
his body was found. Elvis had not gone to bed at his customary
time, between six and seven am. At about 2.30pm the Memphis Fire
Department rescue unit arrive at Graceland who rush seven mile to the Baptist
Memorial Hospital. Elvis was pronounced "dead on arrival"
after an 30 minute attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He was
pronounced clinically dead at on the steps of the Baptist Hospital, Memphis. Elvis
Aaron Presley was pronounced dead at 3.30pm on the 16
August 1977 by his physician, Dr. George Nichopoulos
Dr Jerry Francisco,
chief medical examiner of Shelby County conducted the three-hour
autopsy on Elvis upon Vernon Presley's request. Dr Francisco ruled
Elvis died as a result of coronary arrhythmia (an irregular beating of
the heart resulting from myocardial infarction) Elvis real "cause
of death" revealed more than originally reported to the
media is a bid to retain Elvis Presley reputation as the King of Rock n
Roll
The month of August turns Elvis fans thoughts and prayers to the death of Elvis Presley. Thousands commemorate
Elvis Presley Death by making the pilgrimage to Memphis to pay their respects at Elvis' Graceland
graveside. Many fan clubs organize events to remember the life and times of their idol.
Others, like myself, will play their favorite Elvis CD and reflect. Millions more
will watch the vigil live on Graceland's cam.
