Elvis Presley remains to be one of the most well-known and popular entertainers of all times despite reports of his death on August 16, 1977. More than four decades later the circumstances that surround Elvis’ passing are very controversial.
There are actually two types of Elvis Presley fans. There are the fans who loved and adored Presley’s music, acting, and charming personality. These are the fans who gasped in horror on August 16, 1977, when the news broke that The King of Rock and Roll had died unexpectedly at the age of 42.
These are the fans who cried outside the gates of Presley’s Graceland mansion, and the fans who, though still heartbroken today accepted that Elvis Presley had died.
Then we have the Elvis fans who refuse to believe that Elvis is gone. These
are the fans who have examined every detail and clue and fully believe to
this exact day that Elvis is still alive.
These fans believe with their utmost being that Elvis Presley faked his
death went into a witness protection program and continues to live among us.
In fact, there are numerous social media pages and Facebook groups who offer up oodles of “evidence” to back their claims. Here are a few of their top reasons as to why they believe Elvis is alive.
The infamous body in the coffin photo. Clearly not the king according to fans based on the shape of his nose, eyebrow arch and a confession from a hairdresser who claims she glued a loose sideburn on the corpse because it kept falling down.
It has also bee suggested that since Presley had a fascination with numerology he used it to pick his death day. Erie example… date of death… August 16th, 1977, has numerical significance: 8 + 16 + 1977 = 2001. Thus Spake Zarathustra, the theme music from the movie 2001, was Elvis’ theme song.
There have also been a number of family and friend slip-ups through the years that have been caught. Also, fans always notice whenever Elvis’ daughter Lisa Marie Presley has on more than one occasion refused to answer questions pertaining to her father’s death, or anything to do with it.
Elvis had also reportedly done some odd things in March of 1977. First off he is said to have cashed out three life insurance policies totaling $2 million dollars. He also opened a new checking account with easy access, depositing half of the cash.
Following his death and funeral, a fan taking photos of EP’s gravesite captured the pool house in the background, Later after developing the film he noticed a man’s shape in the window. He blew up the photo and discovered the man eerily resembled Elvis.
Last but not least today there is still one remaining life insurance policy in Elvis Presley’s name that has yet to be cashed in. Presley’s autopsy records have also been sealed all of these years not to be opened until 2027 on the 50-year anniversary of his death.
There are also a zillion other bits and clues far too many to mention here that have left millions wondering as to why all the information pertaining to Elvis Presley’s “death” just do not add up.
Now Elvis Presley fans it is time to reveal, do you believe Elvis Presley
died on August 16, 1977, or do you believe that there is an 84-year Elvis Presley living out his days out there somewhere?
