Ditto. Elvis didn't commit suicide...









David needs to get a life...as do the rest of the Stanley's.....

[Tommy]

So end of story.

[presley31]

I agree tommy

[Diane]

Yup...sure is tiresome!

[Albert]

Yes, David is just one of the millions of people around the world speculating about Elvis' death. Even if he would have been Elvis' full brother, or his best friend, then he still wouldn't have known if Elvis did or did not commit suicide.

Sad to see that there are still people from Elvis' inner circle that can only make a living from telling stories like this.

[utmom2008]

I am sick to death of David Stanley...go get a life!:mad:

[SleepyJack]

Some of these people just can`t seem to move on with their lives without being connected to the Elvis world,they seem to insist on making a career out of their Elvis connection rather than doing anything else...doesn`t say much for them as human beings.

[Joe Car]

The Stanleys are the scum of the earth. They act like complete desperados, and will say anything to make money. Never mind that Elvis was family, never mind that he worked and supported and put a roof over their creepy heads for over 16 years, they're disgusting!

[hgs262626]

i got his movie protecting the king for chrsitmas! its rubbieh! dont get it!

[ksimms2]

Saw this on you tube before - and yes - what an ***** this guy is.....it's bad enough of all the speculation still going around about his death - this just keeps the rumors going.....

[elvisia]

What a beautiful tribute...who is singing???

Glad you like it....it`s song by a guy named Stan Urban

[cameron]

My soon -to-son-in-law came bringing this DVD to me just before Christmas .
I was nice and polite, watched the thing as he put it in my computer ....
Truthfully, it wasn't as bad as I'd heard . Stanley just made himself out to be someone more important than he was, IMO.
Then as it got toward the end, I started talking to my computer .Ranting and raving...."well, that's not right ...etc.etc. "

I asked my soon-to-be , if he knew the story of Elvis. He said no.
I asked him to please read about him before buying me anything else..;)
Have no idea where the thing is now !

[TCBnAflash]

How do you guys all know if Elvis commit suicide or not? None of us were there and all his friends and bodyguards went through all lengths to cover up the drug use. Even saying they found him dead on his bed. I'm not saying he died that way but common, he was pretty **** depressed about that book ( Elvis, What Happened?), that was just released a month before.

1. He knew that commiting suicide is/was a sin.
2. He wouldn't have killed himself with Lisa Marie in the house with him.

Elvis didn't commit suicide...it's that simple. Oh...and "Elvis: What Happened?" wasn't released a month before...it was released fifteen days before Elvis's untimely passing....

[graceland girl]

elvis would never have let his family, especially lisa, suffer by ending his life that way- he loved them and his fans too much

[presley31]

elvis taking his own life..no chance that would of happen.

[utmom2008]

Good points Tony! (y) I get so tired of the "suicide" thinkers...........(n)

Same here...(n)(n)

[Joe Car]

Same here...(n)(n)

The fact remains he played raquetball the night before he passed away, he also went to the dentist to fix his tooth. I really don't believe those are actions of somebody wanting to commit suicide. I also don't understand why anybody would give credence to anything David or any other Stanley's account of what happened!

[MissyM]

Are they still on drugs??

[TCBnAflash]

1. He knew that commiting suicide is/was a sin.

You really don't know that. No body does.
Plus Elvis had his own theories when it came to religion.

[Stryx]

Please.

Do you think Elvis Presley would commit suicide and then wait on the toilet for the drugs to kill him?

Rubbish.

[CRITTERGITTER]

Please note that that is a very, very old program.

Isn't it amazing that such a wonderful person could be surrounded by such scumbags!!!!

He knew enough to know that's it's a sin to take your own life...'nuff said.



Please.

My point exactly.

[MissyM]

And Critter, you know only as much as everyone else here. I resent that scumbag comment. But why am I not used to it by now. It is a wonder that anyone who does know anything other than the usual even stays around.

[cameron]

I don't believe Elvis committed suicide. I did sit down with a pharmacist and went over all the meds. claimed to be in his system .

According to him; there were a couple that had the potential to "build up" in ones system and become toxic over time. Especially with some of his known medical problems. IMO, if meds had anything to do with his death; that would have been the reason, not a planned suicide .

That´s been shown before by experts.

[poormansgold]

It's bad few Friends do bad things, the Stanley's are one them, one Stanley change his life around Rick Stanley. he use Elvis' Life in good way , most us never Do In Life time.

[cameron]

Yes, I know and should be pointed out to ones "thinking suicide".

I DO like to find out these things for myself though.:P

[followthatdream1956]

Just a bunch of rubbish

[cameron]

Just a bunch of rubbish

Some days I think that a lot.
Why in the world are we here discussing someones life that died 30 years ago....besides which, most of never even knew him.
We are a strange bunch, that's for sure.;)

Glad to meet you . Keep posting .(y)

[LianaKaralivanou]

I'd like to believe that he didn't commit a suicide. I'd like to believe that he wouldn't have abandoned his daughter. I would also like to believe that Elvis Presley, the greatest star in the world, just didn't give up...

[utmom2008]

Please.

[utmom2008]

I am assuming by "scumbags" you are referring to the Stanley's??????

[Cliff]

Any one of these things could have triggered the heart attack,especially the racqet ball. Didn't his Docter give him regular check ups?
I don't believe he commited suicide, he had too much too live for,especially his daughter.
I think he just pushed himself a little too hard.

[BabiGurl88]

wow How i miss Unsolved mysteries lol anywayz yea i seen this video before on T.V..The only think i got to say is that is some B.S. i don't think elvis would ever kill himeself i think somebody wants attention

I think you got that right!!

[Sheila]

You Know What?...elvis Is Very Religous And Really Believed In The Bible. He Knows That If You Kill Yourself, You Will Go To Hell. So, He Didn't Do It...it Was An Accident. He Didn't Mean This To Happen.

[SweetCaroline]

Yep, I always say....The thing I am going to do for the last act before I end my life is.....go to the dentist. :blink: :blink: :blink:....and then make sure I am sitting on the toilet with my bloomers down when the time comes....

How ridiculous can anyone be to think Elvis would purposely do these particular acts before leaving this world? If it is my last day on earth... the last place I will be found is a..... DENTAL OFFICE!!!

[Unchained Melody]

I agree with both of you...Elvis's actions before August 16, 1977 do not seem to be the actions of a man who would want to kill himself just hours later....

[Diane]

The whole idea to me of Elvis committing suicide is ridiculous even without all these facts. His personality was so overt. Suicides are usually introverted....I think???

His last meal wouldn't have consisted of four scoops of ice cream and 6 chocolate chip cookies - even inmates on death row get better last meals

[rickb]

David Stanley is a disgrace - as was his `Riding with the King' movie

[Getlo]

His last meal wouldn't have consisted of four scoops of ice cream and 6 chocolate chip cookies - even inmates on death row get better last meals

The whole point of an inmate's last meal is that they get to have whatever they want. This sounds exactly like the sort of thing he would have chosen if he were on death row, or going to off himself (not that I think the idea has any credibility whatsoever of course).


David Stanley is a disgrace - as was his `Riding with the King' movie

Protecting The King.

[Broussey]

Red West summed it all up at the end of that you tube video, and i believe that to be the truth if you know about elvis Presley you would know how much god meant to him, He would have not killed himself on purpose he knew it was a sin and as for saying good bye to some ppl and not doing the things that he normally did that day i have herd that some ppl know when its there time and maybe just maybe so did elvis

[Johnny]

The whole point of an inmate's last meal is that they get to have whatever they want.

Exactly, that's why I think he would have chosen different stuff, or at least more - at least a hors-d'oeuvre, main course and a dessert :D

Besides, isn't usually a suicide note left behind for those that commit this deed to themselves?

[Getlo]

Besides, isn't usually a suicide note left behind for those that commit this deed to themselves?

Only in about one third of cases in the Western world, on average.

Thanks Elvisia for the tip on the video.....and well done to Marija for the beautiful job she did with it....many many thanks.

4 suicides in my familly in the last 50 years and not one note was ever left.

[john carpenter]

I was so crazy to buy the DVD called "protecting the King". David Stanley account of his years with Elvis(original title,The Headhunter)It was one of the worst movies about Elvis,actually it focused more on David.I may sell it at a yard sale for a dime.LoL

I'm affraid I agree with you. Elvis didn't suicide.

[lvs2day]

its a touchy subject and one i have often ponderd many a time , but i do think that may have miscalculated his meds and had an overdose, it's not impossible , way to many coincedences regarding the book by the wests and the up comming tour , i really don't believe that he was looking forward to another tour especially so soon after his last one- his last tour was tough many bad shows he got away with there, again i've alaways thought he just might of thought about ending it, but maybe he thought it would have hit him in bed instead of the washroom.

[debtdbruno]

No way!!!!!!

[monk37]

I've gone back and forth on it

and I don't think that Elvis planned suicide - I think he was more let's just push it until my body just can't anymore. More of a passive than active. Just not reigning in his acknowledge destructive streak rather than taking specific actions

I think that a couple of Smith cousins had suicided, so there was some aversion to the perceived cowardice of being direct about it.

I also doubt he would have done it with Lisa in the house and fans expecting shows - he hated to disappoint the fans.


I do think that the book, the raquetball courts lawsuit, the change in MM personnel (I don't think he handled change too well), the press coverage ever since Elvis fat and forty, the boredom of his career and the sense that there were no more achievements to be had just repetition - could easily have made him more reckless - his challenge becoming how far he could push it

mostly I don't think he would have wanted to die in the bathroom as he did.

If he'd planned his death, it would have been more dramatic and manly. Car crash, plane crash, gun accident - something to go out on a bang.


that said, I'd love the whole Stanley family to crawl under whatever rocks will best cover them so we never need hear from any of them again.

[poormansgold]

It's time to Delete this tread for good

[monk37]

As long as we keep it clean, discuss the subject.

Here is another Geraldo episode with the same old tired Story

[debtdbruno]

Difficult subject.............we all have differing views

My thoughts are, the pills helped create some of his ailments..........which attributed to his death.
I think his colon was in such bad shape, that he had a heart attack........as we all know where??

I think this has been mentioned several times before-but those who were close to Elvis-say he would never kill himself.
Reasons why not:
Religious upbringing.
Lisa was in Graceland that week and he would never want to do anything to harm her
His father was still in fragile health and it would have possibly caused another heart attack.
I mean suicide is a very selfish act-Elvis was not a selfish person. Many of you know suicide is a subject I do know quite a bit about.
Elvis was always asking "Why have I been so blessed, what is my purpose for being on earth" ..................does someone who searches for that answer suddenly say-"Time to end it all"
I do not also think he miscalculated his meds-mainly because his death was not a downer death IE MM, JBelushi, Lenny Bruce-all who died in their sleep with the central nervous system slowly "over time" just shutting down..then to coma.. then the heart just stops-non violent in sleep.
Most of the things Elvis took were sleeping "downer" type medictions-yet he was not asleep, did not go into a coma etc....
I have posted this before but since many seem to not be aware of this statement I will repost it.
It is by Dr. Joseph Davis a world reknowned forensics expert-who the state of Tennesee asked to review the autopsy and lab findings on the death of Elvis.
In 1994, the inquiry into the death of Elvis was re-opened. "There is nothing," said coroner Dr Joseph Davis, "in any of the data that supports a death from drugs. In fact, everything points to a sudden, violent heart attack.""
He added that long term abuse of drugs did however over time weaken Elvis's system which led to an early death.

[rickb]

Protecting the King is rubbish.
I seriously doubt Elvis intentionally commited suicide, almost certainly not when Lisa was there. However, it could be aruged that he committed unintentional suicide by not properlycaring for himself and not addressing his use of prescription medication.
I believe he was so nervous about front an audience in the wake of `What Happened' that he took too much medication to ease his stress. The cumulative effect of ongoing use finally hit him down.

i have also wondered about the suicide thing and if he would have done it with lisa there, as for religion , well he sure did his share of breaking some comandments and seven deadly sins, as we were told for years that the last days he was fully medicated[also a rumour ] as he was up and about , but i do really believe the heart attack theory most of all, at least i want to believe it as dr jerry fransisco said and determined in 77 and alter in 79 when the geraldo 20/20 cover up story came about. I really think he had his doubts about being able to do another tour and facing the scruitny of the press about his west tell all book, how would he deal with the drug rumours and sexcapades and all that was revealed in that rag?

Well suicide is not just breaking a commandment-you can always be forgived for breaking any commandment-but the way most Christians believe is that suicide is a mortal sin-you can not be forgiven for it because you are dead-so that is sin is very very serious to believers. No redemption-eternity in he77.
As far as the book-I think he would have done what many do-just ignored the book as if it did not exist-he had to know most of his fans would support him.

i think he was worried about the day that his daughter would read/hear the things that were put in that book, also in ELVIS by THE PRESLEYS dvd[the most misleading title ever] priscilla said that she talked to him some days before and that spark was gone, although she said the opposite on oprah in 88, i don't know what to think after so many eons of being fans i think we have heard it all.

I am sure of very little in life-but I would bet my cat that Elvis Presley did not commit suicide intentional or unintentional (and we've had this cat for 15 years):D

[debtdbruno]

total agreement with you Ken................

[Teddy]

i think he was worried about the day that his daughter would read/hear the things that were put in that book

All the more reason not to kill himself.
He can't reassure his daughter or work on his public image while he's dead.

Being daunted by the tour doesn't add up either. It's well known that his decision to keep going was largely based on his feelings of responsibility for the individuals whose livelihood depended on his relentless work. Elvis dying would swiftly ruin things for them.

Death did not figure in Elvis's plans. If anything, he was guilty of behaving like mortality wasn't a consideration for him.
The suicide theory was just another piece of Stanley Stupidity and yet another opportunity for Albert Goldman to posthumously kick Elvis where it hurts.

[rickb]

good points, Teddy

[Teddy]

good points, Teddy

Many thanks, Rick!

[monk37]

I am inclined to agree with you, Teddy

agree Teddy.........great post

If anything, I think Elvis was too nonchalent about Life per-se........he thought he knew best!!!!!

The first Stanley book "Elvis We Love You Tendermakes no mention or even hint of any possible suicide-but when those proceeds ran out and the years went by "dirt" and wild speculation seemed to be the way to sell more books I guess.

[scarlet_nell]

I'm not sure who David Stanley is but Elvis would not have killed himself. Especially with Lisa Marie being in the house that night. It's just not possible

[Elizasong]

I'm not sure who David Stanley is but Elvis would not have killed himself. Especially with Lisa Marie being in the house that night. It's just not possible

David Stanley is one of Elvis's step brothers who is doing nothing positive but making money off of Elvis by creating crazy stories. He needs to get a real job.

[scarlet_nell]

Oh. Maybe he's like Red West. Broke and needed money. It's sad that his own brother would do something like that. Has anyone seen the movie yet? I saw comments on youtube that said it was good and it didn't make Elvis look bad but I don't know if I want to watch it or not.

With all respect-Red West is not broke he works in the movies and teaches acting. He actually is a very well respected character actor. He was actually the second lead in the 2008 movie "Goodbye Solo"
and he got good reviews for it. He worked independant of Elvis even when Elvis was alive-he did 3 TV series with Robert Conrad. He also wrote songs and his songs were recorded by Elvis and several other artists-so I would assume he still gets royalties on those songs.
He is not in any way shape or form in the league of Stanley IMO.

[scarlet_nell]

Sorry, I meant when Red was broke, when he wrote that book. I meant that maybe Stanley is broke like Red was then. Sorry for the mix up. It's still no excuse for him to tell lies on his brother though

[sasha]

David Stanley was Elvis' step-brother . He made a movie called Protecting The King.
There are a great deal of false things in there. Mainly, to make David appear more important than he was.
One thing; he nor his brother Ricky were not there the morning of August the 16th.
Though he infers he was .You can ask the ones that were there .

A friend gave me a copy of the movie one year for Christmas . Trying to be nice; I watched it.
It got me so aggravated I gave it back to him & told him to get his money back.:)
