The autopsy determined that the singer’s death was the result of a heart attack.
Subsequent reviews, however, have focused on substance abuse.
Since 1988, after the publication of the book ‘Is Elvis Alive?’, The conspiracy theory of Elvis’ false death has not stopped adding followers.

Today they are made 45 years since Elvis Presley’s death, the singer who sparked a cultural revolution in the late 1950s. In addition to reprints and new films such as Baz Luhrmann’s recent biopic, he is surrounded by countless anecdotes, success figures and even unusual theories that ensure that he is not dead but that he faked his own death.
One of the versions that has been circulating for decades is based on the fact that a few days after he was buried next to his mother in the Forest Hill cemetery there was a man who bore some resemblance to Elvis that he bought at the Memphis airport. a plane ticket to Buenos Aires.
Four and a half decades after his death, Elvis Presley’s legacy remains valid, as do the conspiracy theories.
As investigated, the mysterious character in question called himself John Burrows, one of the pseudonyms that the artist used recurrently to register in hotels. Legend has it that on Argentine soil he was received by a limousine that took him to the Parque Leloir neighborhoodwhere he lived for the rest of his days.
The reference to these theories even became a hit song by Andres Squidwho in 1997 composed the theme elvis is alivewhere he says: “Elvis is alive, a friend told me. He is in the room lined with golden leopard. Everyone in Memphis knows it, but they are very discreet people and they don’t say anything, it would be better which way. Elvis is alive, there are letters written with me when the sun starts to set. Bob Dylan knows that too, but Bob is very discreet and doesn’t say anything. “
The Protected Witness Theory
The famous photo of Elvis with President Richard Nixon, a fact that many claimed was an FBI agent.
An author named Gail Brewer-Giorgio is betting on the theory that the musician was forced to invent his death due to force majeure: he helped the FBI uncover a mafia-related organization called The Fraternity and became a protected witness of the United States Department of Justice. Giorgio theorized all this in the book Is Elvis alive? modified in 1988.
The theory of wax figures
Billy Mann, one of his cousins, accepted a tabloid newspaper’s offer to take a photo of Elvis’ body during the wake at Graceland in exchange for $ 18,000. That photo not only made the tabloid National Enquirer the best-selling tabloid in American history (6.5 million copies), but it also sparked another theory.
Elvis Presley’s body upon awakening.
On the day of his death, Elvis weighed 113 pounds, but the image doesn’t reflect that overweight at all. Many in attendance even commented that they didn’t recognize him because one of his sideburns looked fake and his hands looked smooth. Immediately it was assumed that it was a wax figurein the style of Madame Tussauds Museum.
life insurance theory
There are also those who claim that in March 1977, just five months before his death, Elvis signed his own handwriting multi-million dollar life insurance. But absolutely no one, neither his daughter Lisa Marie, nor his girlfriend Ginger Alden nor any more or less close relative has claimed a single penny. How come? Because you can’t fake a death and accuse it.
