How Elvis Died

[Wacka]

That 30 lbs of equal matter is BS.   Your colon sloughs off some of its lining every time you have a movement.  He would have been dead  way before then.  The average BM is only about a pound a day.

I didn't know that background of how he died.

I am the youngest sibling at 55 but with older brothers and sisters being fans - he was a pretty big deal back in the day.

 

Saw a special last year that reported he first took drugs in the service, where soldiers took them to stay alert. 

When he returned from Duty, he took the drugs more often, then constantly when his manager was making him work too hard (movies, concerts, specials).  Sad the toll it took.

 

Last year business took me to Tennessee so  I took my wife and daughter to Nashville (a blast)  then Graceland. 

We spent the night at the Graceland Hotel that was beautiful but a little over the top, like a casino, in the foyer. They had a movie theater inside and every night they play an Elvis Movie for the guests. Good movie but no popcorn though lol.

 

At Graceland - they didn't let us go upstairs but the whole first floor,  his finished basement area, and the grounds were well kept including where he is buried with his mom there.

 

 They also had his recording studio building as part of the tour, a museum on site with lots of memorabilia, and we paid a few bucks extra to tour his private jet that was also there on the grounds.

 

I know I  typed a lot so if you're still reading....(In my best Elvis Voice:) Thannngyouahhhh Verrry Muchahhh!

 

Very cool.  Graceland/Memphis is on my bucket list.

yeah, there was a few months when he was funny long long ago

From what I understand, he had multiple doctors prescribing him multiple pills that didn't know about each other. So it wasn't so much an overdose, as it was taking medicines that shouldn't be taken together.

Elvis faking his death is one of the few conspiracy theories that I think may possibly be true. I'm not saying I believe it, but I'm only about 60-70% sure Elvis died in 1977.

You find that unbelivable?

 

Canadian pianist Glenn Gould, one of the finest pianists of the 20th century, was famously eccentric and a hypochondriac.

 

He had so many imagined ailments and took all sorts of medications, often prescribed by different doctors who had no idea what other medications Gould was taking.  He would imagine an ailment, research what drug was needed to treat it, and go get a prescription.  He was taking drugs to counteract the side effects of other drugs.  His medicine cabinet was lined with prescription bottles.  (See the movie ‘Thirty Short Films About Glenn Gould’.). He died of a massive stroke in 1982, one week after his 50th birthday.

 

Back then, medical records were not computerized.  One doctor would have no way of knowing what another doctor prescribed unless they got on the phone with each other, which didn’t happen. In fact, one doctor wouldn’t even know if you were seeing other doctors unless you told them.  Even today, when I go to one of my several physicians, yes they can pull up a list of my prescriptions in a few seconds, but they count on me to update them on any changes, and their lists are frequently old, have wrong dosages, and have things that were prescribed for usage only once prior to a procedure.  Even at Roswell, where I see several oncologists, they don’t know for sure what each other are prescribing me.

 

It’s not hard to imagine someone like Elvis ‘finding’ the right doctor, or doctors, to prescribe what he wanted.  Michael Jackson had a doctor on his payroll for just that reason, and Jacko died from an overdose because of it.

he's dead. as a door nail. if you saw his physical condition before he died you would have no doubt. he also died at 42, the same age his mother was when she died.

 

he had had enough of the fame and attention.

Gould, Elvis and MJ are not worth trying to fit into reality

Theirs lives may have been surreal, but mine is grounded in reality.

 

Just a couple of years ago, my physiatrist was prescribing me tramadol for back pain and valium to relax me before the painful spine injections.  At the same time, my pain oncologist at Roswell was prescribing morphine and oxycodone for chronic pain caused by cancer, and tizanadine - a muscle relaxer - for back spasms.  If that combination doesn’t sound lethal enough, my liver oncologist at Roswell was prescribing Ativan for anxiety and compazine for nausea (also used to treat schizophrenia which, thankfully, I don’t have).  Meanwhile, my gastroenterologist prescribed lactulose to keep my blood ammonia level normal and Xifaxin to combat hepatic encephalopathy, and my cardiologist prescribed oral nitro spray for angina and amlodipine for high blood pressure while my primary was prescribing metropolol for the same things.  All of the above were being prescribed simultaneously.

 

And then there’s the fentanyl, phenobarbital, dilaudid, demerol, and other substances used to sedate me before and after the dozen or so procedures I’ve had in the past 6 years.

 

Still don’t believe it can happen?

Who doesn't know the circumstances surrounding Elvis' death? 

 

Kids?  Or just living under a rock?

that rumour was for John Wayne, not remotely true

 

A quick check on snopes says you are correct.

 

However, Elvis did suffer from severe constipation, which his personal physician claims contributed to Elvis’ death.

 

“An autopsy after Elvis’ death revealed a colon that was 5-6 inches in diameter and 8-9 feet long. A normal colon is only 2-3 inches in diameter and 4-5 feet long. The autopsy also revealed stool that had been in the colon for 4-5 months and would have certainly presented a tremendous toxic load on the singer’s physiology.”

 

 

BTW, that same personal physician had his license suspended for 3 months, for prescribing Elvis over 10,000 doses of amphetamines and barbiturates in the first half of 1977.  Subsequently, his license was permanently revoked.

 

No doubt, at least in my mind, that such dosing was the cause of Elvis’ digestive problems.

Four-five month-old stool stuck in the colon?  Dude must have cleared rooms when he passed gas.

A few tablets of senna glycoside and 3 tbspns of lactulose work wonders for me, even with the opioid constipation

 

A gallon of whatever that stuff is you have to drink for a colonoscopy is also very thorough - just make sure you have a clear path to the bathroom, and put a TV and some magazines in there!

You need smoke...
