I wonder, how could EPE or anyone else didn't take a look on the bones that are lying in Elvis' grave?
This could at least show the public that he's dead already..

What do you think? :hmm:

I think is sick.Never crossed my mind.Is really crazy.Please respet the dead.We should stop thinking where is he resting.Let him rest in peace!He gave us his best....We have the videos,the pictures,the memories..Can we keep it that way?Pls!!:angry:

[meg]

I wonder why a lot of people thinks that Elvis isn't in his grave.. Didn't they store his organs in the babtist hospital? Where are they now? They could take a DNA sample if possible and proove he's dead


A Friend of Conspiracy:lol: :lol:

[Diane]

I'm in total agreement with Leroy - you said it well!

[Elvisgirl]

i think it's sick too. why do you want to know where his organs are? why should they proove he's dead? there's no doubt about he is. the people who think he isn't, are sick and need some professional help. and i mean the ones who REALLY believe that he's alive, that he was adopted by aliens or that he's hiding somewhere or whatever it is they think

Elvis has a death cert, you don't need to prove anything after that. Yes they stored some of his organs or parts of in Baptist Memorial.

People think what they want to think, always have and always will.

[Diane]

Elvislady you made a good point. There are times when questions are appropriate and is one of the best tools in learning but there are times when the questions are purely sick, gruesome or too personal.

[JDD]

While I don't find it disrespectful at all that some folks like Leroy doubt that Elvis is in a grave at Graceland, I don't happen to share that opinion either. Fact is, there are some funny things that went on after Elvis died, that leave questions in my mind, not about if he's really gone, or where his body lies today, but a lot of weird stuff did and didn't happen that just leave me scratching my head.

[Polk-Salad-Annie]

I totally agree with Elvisgirl and Leroy.
For the real Elvis fan he is dead.
But he lives on in our memories.

[jak]

i firmly believe that Elvis' body is located in Meditation Garden at graceland.i dont know why anyone would suspect otherwise.If its placement there was a hoax 30 years ago the secret would have slipped out many years ago.With all the media and fans in Memphis following his death I doubt there would have been a chance to execute the hoax.Fans and media had everywhere staked out.

This is NOT the message that reply to.You change it.Why?You thought I was right and that others would think the same?Can you be honest please and tell me why you took off the original one?This one is ok.The other one was wrong and woyuld make any Elvi's fan angry.

[GirlHappy19]

This has nothing to do with respecting or disrespecting the dead. We have the right to ask questions or to have doubts about official announcements. There are too many facts that doesn't add up. You know what respecting the dead means?
It means granting Elvis' wish to be laid to rest next to his mother, which hasn't been done.
And you know what disrespecting the dead is? Everytime someone starts a topic about how sick Elvis was due to misusing prescripted medication or about some show that weren't according Elvis' standards.

I agree with you Leroy.And I know where the dead belong and all.But that's not what he wrote.He or shee changed the message.Whoever wrote the first message is NOT and Elvis fan.I wish I had made a copy.He/she can has the right to say whatever they want,but I am an Elvis fan and I was hurt.He/she can say whatever they want now and have support from TCB,but deep inside he/she is wrong and they know it.Those kind of messages arew psetting to any Elvi's fan.

You?r right he changed the message(y)

[JDD]

it says right on the bottom that they edited it because they didn't like the way it sounded. Neither did some of you apparently. I've edited a couple in the past that I threw up in a hurry and messed something up on .

He's gone, anyone that read the book the Death of Elvis, probably is like myself wondering how the poor man lasted as long as he did because he had some serious health issues. He couldn't have been at all comfortable at the end.

[Cryogenic]

Leroy... it is a pleasure to have you here. Especially when you make posts like the one above! You are one of the Jedi Masters of the Elvis World.

STAND BY FOR A MORBID QUESTION!

**Those of a sensitive disposition should return to their mother's basements**

How much of Elvis was actually buried down there? Which organs are missing? I don't think I'd like the idea of my body being separated from my organs -- unless they were donated in the name of science or to help someone who needed them. And I wouldn't want to be buried in a fancy box, either. Just something simple and easily decomposible. I like the idea of "The Circle of Life". Of giving back to nature. I'd rather my whole body get eaten up and nourish the soil. I am against cremation for myself. But to be at one with nature suits me ...... *pun alert* ...... down to the ground. Think of "Forrest Gump". Jenny is buried beneath a tree, her and Forrest's favourite tree, and in effect, she becomes part of that tree. There is a serenity in that. I guess this line of thinking goes back to "The Green, Green Grass of Home". Every song that Elvis sung seemed to be painting a map of his life. And this piece of the map hints that Elvis wanted the same thing.

[Diane]

Personally I don't really care whether Elvis is buried at Graceland or at the cemertary but I also agree that wherever he is he should be next to his mother as that was his wish. His spirit is definitely at Graceland either way.

The only thing that struck me as downright silly was the idea of digging up his bones to prove where his body was buried. Why should it be disturbed for the sake of idle curiousity?

I really believe as some of you do that questioning can be a healthy thing in order to grow and develop but questions that are offensive, hurtful or too personal aren't beneficial to either party and are simply a lack of good manners.

I agree with the above statements and would add something else.Personally I think no matter what happened to Elvis body its none of the fan's business.That's a private family matter and just because Elvis led a public life
doesnt give us a right to know every intimate detail.The family doesnt need to prove he's dead.That's a joke and I still cant believe to this day people still ask questions about the possibility he didnt die that day back in 1977.

[Diane]

Thanks Jak and I am in complete agreement with you too. There ARE actually things people don't need to know.

There are also things that sometimes once you know, you can't forget again. In this situation there are things I have read regarding his physical health at the end, from people that would know,that I wish I could lose from my mind forever.

[Diane]

You are right JDD, there are some things best not known. I think you must be thinking of the book The Death of Elvis that was on another thread? I still haven't made up my mind on that one. From what you and others have said it is a tough one to take.

[JDD]

Seriously does anybody really think He's not gone at this point?

[JDD]

Diane its a very informative book, I learned a lot, but in the end a lot of it was stuff like you said that I didn't need to know. Unless you really just have a driving need to find out how many problems the guy had at the end, then I'd say skip it. Not that it wasn't what I wanted before hand because it was, it had all the info but it was pretty harsh to hear.

[thehillbillycat]

There is many questions on if Elvis is dead or if he alive. As Leroy have said things doesn't add up. When you see the evidence in front of you and look real closely that certains things doesn't add up correctly. Do I think he is alive? I can't really say. Do I think he is dead? I can't really say either. Does he have a Death Certificate? Well, yes he does but things on that is not right either, for example his weight. Well, you might say that is the weight after all organs and such is out of the body. Well, that isn't so because I know people who are in that line of work and they weight the bodies before the organs are taken out. Next, his favorite rings and photos of his mother has been missing since his death. Ok, they might be in the secret room since we know Graceland has one. Also other things doesn't seem right. He has a value driver's licence. He insurance was never claim and so on. But these could be just things that makes fans think he alive. Could he fake his death? Yes, he could. He had the power to do so. But someone said that it would of leak out by now. If done right it wouldn't been leak out. For example, Howard Hughes. There is a small period of time that no one knew where he was. When Hughes finally passed away. FBI didn't believe that was the true Howard Hughes until they performed the fingerprint test to see if he truely who he was. Same in Elvis' case. There is proof that he is dead and proof that he is alive. It may be morbid to dig him up or find the organs but it needs to be done so that we know if he is truely dead or truely alive. Now if he did survive August 16, 1977, I would say he would be dead by now. Charlie Hodge said in a interview that he overheard the doctor that Elvis had cancer. If he had cancer or in this case as it was said "bone cancer". The odds of him living a while is very slim unless treated by professionals in hospitals. But I am not the ones who thinks he is alive. I am one of those who says that "If he is dead, then he is dead. But if he is alive, then leave the man alone. He gave us so much during the years he was with us that he doesn't need to prove to us anymore that he still got it."

[Donut]

I can?t believe anyone can think Elvis is alive or didn?t die in 77. It?s obvious he died just watching in the state he was in his later years.
And the most important thing... his family don?t need to prove he died is the people who think he is alive who have to prove that.

No disrespect; but this is a perfect example of people believing what they read or what they are told without questioning the information and the accuracy of it.

Contrary to popular belief, Elvis was not morbidly obese when he died. He was overweight, but not the extent that people assume.

Which rings are missing? His TCB ring is at Graceland as are many others. Photo's of his parents are of a very personal nature, and he does have other family members who may like to have some of them.

The Insurance thing; from London im guessing? Elvis made inquiries about it; but never paid on it. Since he never paid on it, there was no life insurance policy for his father to claim.

The Bone Cancer thing has been said over and over on this board. It was Vernon who said it to Charlie and the reasons have been outlined before.

Finally; Elvis does not need to be dug up as you put it. He is dead, and he never will be dug up to please some fans who have a problem in accepting the fact that he is dead. Quite frankly I find that thought quite pungent, some fans need to start accepting the fact he's dead instead of making crazy calls to have his body exhumed to find out for sure. Let the man rest in peace; sure talk about him, his life, his actions, his legacy but postulating that he be exhumed........well.......im just glad it will never happen, regardless how many people call for it.

[thehillbillycat]

But is like I have said I didn't say he was alive. Nor did I say he is dead. About his life Insurance. Not the one from London. He had Life Insurance that was filed but was never collected. Never. But as for the rings. The TCB ring that you see at Graceland is not the original. That is one of his many TCB rings. The thing that can tell that from the original is that EP is not on each and every diamond. The original TCB ring had EP on each and every diamond. How do I know this? Because of the fact I know someone who has one of the TCB rings that was given by Elvis to a lady he knew in Macon. He came here to Macon to see this lady who is still alive and is around 75 years old. She said when looked at each and every diamond you can clearly see EP on each diamond. Well, how can you tell when that TCB ring at Graceland doesn't have the EP on each diamond. Because I know someone who went to Graceland and use the piece that looks real closely at diamonds and he didn't see EP on the diamonds. The lady does thinks he is dead and did go to the funeral as well. She said it look like him in the coffin. But she said that many things doesn't add up in his death. Also things back in the 80s happen that seem to be odd. For one, a Magazine that was printed in 1983 had a nice article of Ali and he told of the day he gave Elvis the boxing gloves and Elvis gave Ali the robe. Well, there was a picture that appeared in that magazine that showed Ali with his wife at the time and someone in a wheel chair. The person in the wheel chair looks like Elvis. There was no write up that said that was Elvis in the wheel chair. Well, a few days later that magazine was disappearing off of shelves. That Magazine was only printed and sold here in Georgia. I know someone who owned a store at that time who had lot of those magazines. He will tell you that they wasn't selling to good. That someone came up and wanted to buy all the copies of that magazine. Why would someone wanted about 300 to 400 copies of the same magazine? Seem odd to me. As for his weight. You honestly think at the time of his death that he weigh 170 LBS. He was over weight. The way Elvis was built and everything counting his height. 170LBS would be a normal weight for him. He had to weigh over 200 LBS at the time of his death. But as I have said I not saying he is alive. I do think he is dead but it just things doesn't add up all the way. I said "if (if being the key word) he is alive then leave the man alone. He had everything to give us and doesn't need to prove himself anymore."

Also another thing, why did a few years ago that EPE, Priscilla, and Lisa agree to have him dig up but then a few days later said no?

They should of said no to begin with.

Jak
I agree with both you guys.

[Fire-Eyes]

Is it really that important? I mean if he is dead or alive? In anyways he is gone, that is the truth, we can not see him, we can not touch him, the only way we can experience him is to stay dependent on what he left, and what he gave us. We feel him aaaaaaaaalllll arrrooound? Am i wrong?
I actually do not care what happend to his body, when someone dies her/his body rots, hard to accept maybe but yes, as we all know it rots. Why do we visit Graceland, or the Meditation Garden? I did visit there once too, and i have plans to revisit it in 2007. Visiting graves is symbolic, yes we do visit his grave but, even if he is bruied down there or not, he is actually not there, maybe his bones yes, but he is not. His spiritual existance is all around, it's easy to feel it when you visit Graceland. That's the important part of it, to feel his spiritual existance...
Just leave him alone, dead or alive he is with us, we all know how much he did care about his fans, don't we? Yes we all agree that he should be buried next to his mother, maybe he is, maybe he is not, but i am sure that he is, or will be, with his mother in heaven.
I do LOVE ELVIS with aaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllll my heart, and i know he does love me, as he does love you all. He is the one, we are with him, and he is with us. :wub::king::wub:

Again no disrepect; but where do you get this trash? And do you actually believe what you just wrote? If so, there is no point in me continuing to debate this with you.

Elvis hangs around with Ali the whole time.......jeez!

It never did happen. Families can't just exhume bodies willy nilly, it's againt the law.

[thehillbillycat]

I din't say it was Elvis in the picture. I said it looked like Elvis. That doesn't mean it was Elvis. But why would that magazine disappear for? Where did I get this from? I know someone who has that magazine and it was publish here in Gerogia when Ali was down here back in late 82. Priscilla and family along with EPE said that they was going to dig him up back in aroud 93 or 94. I saw it on the news. CNN news cover it for over a day saying that they was going to lay it to rest once and for all. Then, a few days later they said no we are not going to do this. I can't believe anyone doesn't remember that. I remember they showed outside of Graceland with a line in front of it. At that time it was live and it happen during the summer when they annouce that they was going to dig him up. I have a friend who will be letting me borrow the tape he recorded that day and a few days later. It was also in some news papers as well. Here in Macon had the headline "Elvis to be dug up". They showed a picture of him in the coffin. Under that picture was the line "since this picture no one has seen Elvis but family wants to leave no doubts that Elvis is dead." I use to have that newspaper but it got destory back in 2000. I didn't know it was in my storage building and the dampness got to it and ruined it.

Nope, it is the Macon Telegraph. It is a local newspaper. They tell of current events in the world just like a regular newspaper does.

"ELVIS PRESLEY FAN RECALLS MACON MOMENT BEFORE THE KING'S DEATH

Paulette Fountain cried the day Elvis Presley died. She was at home when her cousin called with the sad news. Tears rolled down her cheeks and fell at her feet. The date was Aug. 16, 1977. That was 29 years ago today. Two months earlier, the King had almost stepped on those same feet after his concert at the Macon Coliseum.

[thehillbillycat]

Macon takes pride that Elvis came here. We have the Macon Coliseum which still stands but looks a little bit different. Inside is a few pictures from the 1976 show and I believe two from the 1977 show. They have display one of the many scarves that he gave out. There is two ticket stubs for the 1976 and 1977 shows. There is a shop that is in south Macon that has a Elvis statue in front of it. He sells them. There is a place in north Macon that is call Elvis' place which is a place that you can go in a look around to see stuff of Elvis, no it is not real but it is close enough. I never been to there and was told about it a few days ago. They have four displays that has replica of Elvis' jampsuit that he wore during his Macon shows. So Macon takes Elvis by heart. They have the newspaper in there which you can clearly read about the Digging up of Elvis' grave. Also right next to it is the one which says for the headline "No way for Elvis' Grave". Which tells that the family change its mind.

Hardly suprising that the Times would have little in a way of an obituary for Elvis, considering he wasnt 'home grown' and had never even set foot in England -( Prestwick airport noted and disregarded thank you;) never mind sing here so I can hardly blame them :hmm:

Well how about you produce that Video tape from CNN? Pity that the damp ruined the paper. Maybe you can get a copy of that fictional rag online and show us?

It never happened. End of. Thats like Gail Brewer Girogio's nonsense.

Exhumeing a body to satisfy public curiosity, I never heard anything as absurd.

Do you honestly expect, with no proof, talking to a lot of well educated, articualte, intelligent Elvis fans that ANYONE here would beleive this rubbish?

Hardly suprising that the Times would have little in a way of an obituary for Elvis, considering he wasnt 'home grown' and had never even set foot in England -( Prestwick airport noted and disregarded thank you;) never mind sing here so I can hardly blame them :hmm:

Lots more UK Newspapers did in fact give Elvis headlines..some for most of the week!

The fact The Times, a very sniffy newspaper back then in 1977 HAD to is more to the point. Elvis was a world renowned figure, of course the paper could not ignore his death.

Nowadays The Times even mentions Elvis Airport stories:-)

The UK and Irish newsagent shops displayed maybe a dozen other daily newspapers with similiar headlines. Most major cities and towns also ran the story in the Evening newspapers. What a sight that was!

Well how about you produce that Video tape from CNN? Pity that the damp ruined the paper. Maybe you can get a copy of that fictional rag online and show us?

It never happened. End of. Thats like Gail Brewer Girogio's nonsense.

Exhumeing a body to satisfy public curiosity, I never heard anything as absurd.

I have seen it on Ebay a few times. I been trying to get one ever since my got destory. But you can always come down to see the paper in the the place I have mentioned. They do have it. Although that I don't have personally have the proof but it is displayed right were you can read it. Even several people I have ask remembers it happening and they don't like Elvis that much. But they remember the headlines in the paper. They also remember the CNN report.

The 16 page essay above is an in depth look at how the INTERNATIONAL media covered Elvis's death. CBS First thought it was not that important a story!!!

Of course the rest of the worlds press DID think it a HUGE story.

Another reason why I recommend "In Search of Elvis" by Vernon Chadwick. Credit where it's really due (y)

I also read the story 'bout them exhuming Elvis's casket but nothing ever came of it, fortunately. I think it was just publicity hype.....

Well, at least someone remembers it besides me. All I remember is them saying it and then they say no we are not. But I too think it was a publicity hype.

I think the topic of the possibility that Elvis could be alive or might have faked his death is what belongs in the grave.

Fact: EPE and others have changed their stories so many times that it is almost impossible to find the truth anymore, anything that is written in the newpapers and any report on the T.V. are pure speculation in this matter.

The thought that Elvis should be exhumed is just plain *****ic, the guy is gone plain and simple. Even if for some bizarre reason this did happen and his bones were tested no-one would believe the results because it would confirm what they don't want to believe!

This is true.When it comes to some Elvis fans they believe what they want to believe regardless of the facts presented.
