ON THIS DAY...
...IN 1977, Dr. George Nichopoulos begged, "Breathe, Elvis, come on, breathe for me," as he tried to revive Elvis Presley in the ambulance en route to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis. Presley, 42 years old, was pronounced dead on arrival. Elvis's obesity and enlarged colon, combined with a congenitally weak heart-not a drug overdose-were likely the cause of his death.
It has long been rumored that he died on the toilet, straining at a stool. But we won't know for sure until 2027, when Elvis's autopsy records will be in the public domain.
