Looking back, it’s likely old accidental head injuries triggered events leading to Elvis Presley’s death.įrom my experience investigating unexpected and unexplained sudden deaths, the accidental conclusion makes sense when you consider the totality of evidence in Elvis’s death. TBIs are known as silent, stalking, and patient killers. It said Elvis Presley accidentally died after long-term complications from earlier traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The review indicated something entirely different from a heart attack or drug overdose really killed the King of Rock ‘n Roll. This revelation started immediate accusations of a cover-up and conspiracy theories quickly hinted at sinister criminal acts.įour decades later, modern medicine and forensic science looked at the Presley case facts. Codeine was ten times the therapeutic level and the combination of other prescription drugs suggested a poly-pharmacy overdose. Toxicology results soon identified ten pharmaceutical drugs in Elvis’s system.

Three days later, the Memphis County coroner issued Elvis Presley’s death certificate stating the cause as hypertensive cardiovascular disease with atherosclerotic heart disease - a heart attack subsequent to high blood pressure and blocked coronary arteries. Elvis was rushed to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was pronounced dead, then shipped to the morgue and autopsied the same afternoon. Elvis Presley suddenly dropped in the bathroom of his Graceland mansion on the afternoon of August 16, 1977.
