Is this one worth hunting down Tony???

We have too ask it to people how saw him in his coffin.They know how he looked.
Does somebody here on Tcb world know a member or a story about someone who saw him and said the photo was fake or real?

TotallyInsane filed by the casket......twice.

**TCBnAflash** · 02-02-2008, 01:01 PM

I got attacked on here for trying to tell people about this. I couldn't find the source.

Does anybody ever have seen the autopsy photo's?

From what i've read no photos were taken.

During the viewing for the fans, the coffin was placed in the entry way in front of the stairs, head facing dining room, feet facing living room. There were ropes placed in front of it and guards all around. You walked in the door, 2 or 3 feet made a u-turn and walked back out. Fans were not allowed to go stomping through the living room, music room or dining room. It was QUICK.
After the viewing by the fans, the body was moved into either into the music room or dining room for the service.
And, no it did not look like him. It looked like a 60's Elvis.
I think when I die I'm gonna leave instructions that I want to look just like I did when I was 14 - the first time I kissed Elvis - so maybe he'll recoginize me when I get there!!!

Did you see what he was wearing, I've read it was 3 piece suit? I always thought they should've put him in of his favorite Jumpsuits or outfits he wore.

**TotallyInsane** · 02-02-2008, 01:25 PM

He had on a suit and tie. My mom asked me if I saw Linda Thompson sitting on the stairs. I cannot give you one item in that house I saw but his face....as many times as I stood out there on that street on the weekends wondering what the inside of that house looked like....my eyes were locked on that casket from the moment I hit the door. Could not have told you the minute I walked out that door anything about that house.

Thank you. I've never known anyone that was really there ....except some of the guys. Appreciate your input.

Thank you for sharing this.....oh my goodness how sad you must have been....you said it didn't look like him? I wonder what they did to make him look so much younger? I don't mean to be graphic - but even draining all the fluid out - can't make him look so much younger can it? God Bless him.

**Diane** · 02-02-2008, 03:12 PM

Yes Kelly, with all the fluids drained out Elvis would have looked much younger. Had he not had all the health problems he had he probably wouldn't have changed all that much from the 60's/early 70's.

I agree Diane...it was the bloat that aged him so much, IMO.
