Today marks the sad anniversary of Elvis Presley's tragic passing after he died on August 16, 1977, at the age of just 43. But mystery has shrouded the King of Rock and Roll's death for almost 50 years after his family remained tight-lipped on the results of his autopsy.
The Jailhouse Rock singer, from Mississippi, was found face down on the bathroom floor of his Graceland home, where he appeared to have fallen from the toilet close by, with his pyjama bottoms around his ankles. In the years leading to his sudden death, his health had taken a dramatic hit, after years of drug abuse catching up with him combined with a diet of junk food.
The once slender and sporty star went on to weigh 25 stone as he spent months barricaded in his bedroom indulging in cheeseburger platters. His condition was so fraught that he was in need of a full-time nurse, and as he reportedly refused to bathe throughout 1975, and developed sores across his body.
