Elvis Presley’s autopsy report revealed the illness that caused his death

The King of Rock and Roll met a tragic end on August 16, 1977.

He was found face down on the bathroom floor of his Graceland home, having seemingly fallen from the nearby toilet.

Although the circumstances of his death are well-known, the results of his autopsy remained sealed for 50 years.

Elvis’s health deteriorated due to drug abuse and a diet full of junk food. 

He gained a lot of weight and needed a full-time nurse. It’s reported that he refused to bathe throughout 1975, leading to sores all over his body.

Elvis had chronic constipation due to his unhealthy diet. An autopsy revealed that he had a four-month-old impacted stool in his bowel. However, this was not the cause of his death.

Reports indicate that the singer was taking a mix of drugs and had been prescribed almost 9,000 pills, vials, and injections in the seven months before he died.

Elvis was found on the floor with his pajama bottoms down and was unresponsive by his girlfriend, Ginger Alden.

The autopsy results will not be available until 2027. However, Dr. Forest Tennant from California has provided valuable information on how Elvis died.

Elvis was a fit young man who played football and practiced martial arts. Unfortunately, he began abusing drugs, including amphetamines, opioids, and sedatives, as a teenager and had a poor diet.

Unfortunately, he began abusing drugs, including amphetamines, opioids, and sedatives, as a teenager and had a poor diet. It is important to note that Elvis started using drugs at a young age. However, Tennant believed these symptoms were insufficient to explain the numerous health issues that plagued the rock star from the late 1960s onwards.

He initially experienced dizziness, back pain, sleeplessness, eye infections, and headaches. In 1973, he was rushed to the hospital in a semi-conscious state with yellow skin, severe breathing problems, a swollen face, a bloated stomach, constipation, a bleeding stomach ulcer, and liver disease.

In 1975, he was hospitalized again for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and megacolon. This condition causes the large intestine to swell and can allow poisons to spread throughout the body. He also experienced at least four near-death episodes from overdoses that left him unconscious and requiring resuscitation. Additionally, his heart was twice the standard size, and despite never smoking, he suffered from lung disease.

Forest believes that a severe head injury he sustained in 1967 triggered an autoimmune inflammatory disorder that caused illnesses in his stomach, liver, lungs, heart, spine, eyes, and bowel. The cause of these illnesses was the head injury.
