Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977, at the age of 42. The official cause of death was recorded as a heart attack, specifically an arrhythmia, which is an irregular heartbeat. It was later revealed that he had several underlying health issues, including hypertension, glaucoma, and an enlarged colon. Additionally, drug use, particularly prescription medications, was believed to have contributed to his declining health and ultimately his death.

Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977 in the bathroom of his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee. He was 42. He had been on the toilet, but fallen off onto the floor, where he lay in a pool of his own vomit. Panicked, his staff contacted an ambulance, which rushed him to nearby Baptist Memorial Hospital, where, after several attempts to revive him, he died at 3:30 pm CST. His autopsy was performed at 7:00 pm.

The official coroner's report lists "cardiac arrhythmia" as the cause of Presley's death, but this was later admitted to be a ruse entered into by the Presley family along with autopsy physicians Dr. Jerry T. Francisco, Dr. Eric Muirhead and Dr. Noel Florredo to cover up the real cause of death, a cocktail of ten prescribed drugs, taken in doses no doctor would prescribe

The coroner's official cause of death was "coronary arrhythmia", but that was only to cover up a more embarrassing truth. Presley had 10 prescription drugs in his system: Morphine, Demerol, Chloropheniramine, Placidyl, Valium, Codeine, Ethinamate, Quaaludes, and one more unidentified barbituate. The combination and amount of drugs caused his death.
