Elvis Presley Autopsy Report
However, in November 1977
Dr Nichopoulos
was under suspicion for malpractice (among other charges) and
was charged by the Tennessee state board of
health with illegally prescribing more that
5,300 drug to Elvis in a seven month period. He
allowed Elvis to consume over 25 pills a day . Dr Nic's last prescription on
August 16, 1977 was for 680 tables of the powerful
painkiller Dilaudid which had the potential of
killing a stable of horses. In his defence Dr
Nic told the health board that... "Elvis was getting
over an eye infection and sore throat, but overall
he was a healthy man...."
Elvis Exhumed
Dr Kelly of LA Bio Science Lab who analysed some of
Elvis' body tissue, determined Elvis body
contained many depressant drugs at the time of his
death which included Valuim, Valmid, morphine,
pentobarbital, codeine, Quaalude and Placidyl.
Red West
reported the Dr Nic was only too willing
to fill any request for drugs that Elvis would
demand. West concluded the Elvis was a "walking
drugstore. He was drugged to the limit"... However,
Marty Lacker contended the Elvis was a pill freak not
a drug abuser |
