No cranial autopspy? Interesting. When an autopsy is done, they do the brain. Unless there`s enough substantial evidence of what caused the death, upon viewing with the naked eye. That doesn`t happen very often.
Whether or not any life saving mearsures are taken is the decision of the attending doctor who is on call. They can take those measures until they`re satisfied that all measures taken have failed and no more can be done.
Considering who he was, I`m not surprised at the measures taken to save him. I`m positive that the doctors didn`t want to admit he was gone until they had exhausted all possibilities.
I have this book and I remember the gruesome details. I`ve read no other book that goes into such detail. Doesn`t bother me though. It almost intriques me, only because I work in the medical field.

Security is not the absence of danger but the presence of God no matter what the danger.

Again according to medical examiner and a few other's a cranium autopsy was done.The medical examiner who was in the room also stated that they took out the brain, heart, etc..vital organs (some are still in Atlanta by some reports) and that Elvis was buried w/o these organs (unusual as majority of cases the organs are placed in a bag and buried w/the body).
I think Getlo (once again) is correct and much of what has been "rumors" will be shown to have been truth if and when the autopsy report is released in 2027 (the family can request that it not be, though Vernon placed a 50 yr. original cap on it).
That's good to look for yourself ;draw your own conclusions.
I talked to a pathologist here too. Asked him if it was always done. He said no, unless the family requested one or IF there was a question as to the cause of death. Since the M.E. already said what the cause of death was; I guess none was needed. I know the police report was filed before the M.E. even announced it.
Who knows ? Lots of things went on that day not quite ethical, IMO.

Well, speaking with Mr. Daniel D. Warlick on the phone, he all in all said what you can read in the book, and that is: Elvis was a very hard drug addict, that to some point had a part in his death, but what really shut down his body on august 16 was his lower intestinal system that was 'clogged and distended with chalky-white hardened fecal material'. His bowel was twisted, and he had a lot of pain when defecating. In the bathroom that morning he tried so hard to take a dump, that the blood-pressure in his belly increased dramatically. The pressure in his belly rose higher than his blood pressure, that meant he couldnt pump blood, and boooum! He had a serious heart-attack that only left him few second to throw his book over on the counter, fall over from the commode and crawl a few steps before dying. Thats what happened according to Daniel Warlick, and actually I believe him. Read the book. It doesnt give to the final evidence or explanation, but it gets close. At least it will leave with no doubt, that Elvis was a drug addict. Best regards, Martin
And again, I'm going to go with the medical examiner's eye witness account before I go with Larry Geller's account....
Right there with you!And again, I'm going to go with the medical examiner's eye witness account before I go with Larry Geller's account....
In this state....for as long as I can recall....when someone dies a 'mysterious' death at home (mysterious meaning they had no known long term illness or disease), an autopsy is performed, consent of the family is not needed. Cause of death cannot be fully determined---although it might be evident--- until the results from the pathology tests are returned. They can`t decide to autopsy the brain after the results are returned. Results take weeks to get back.IF there was a question as to the cause of death. Since the M.E. already said what the cause of death was; I guess none was needed

In this instance Vernon Presley requested the autopsy that way it could remain private as opposed to the State just doing one because then it would be public domain. That is how his autopsy report was able to be sealed for 50 yrs. after his death.
I tend to believe the examiner in the room, that in fact they did autopsy his cranium.
We chose an odd topic to discuss on the day of his birth. IMO lol
That is correct....it's that way in alot of states. Plus....the books say that Vernon signed a consent form.
That`s right. Vernon was asked by Dr. Nick to sign the consent form. Vernon didn`t request the autopsy.

Dr. Nick stated (utmom) that he advised Vernon to request the autopsy for the reason's I stated above.
As I've not read this book I don't know what it says, I'm going off of Dr. Nick's comments and those around Vernon @ this time.
No more comments from me. You were asking a question I provided the answers I found and how and why. It's entirely up to you all what you choose to believe; right or wrong.

So...you talked to Dan Warlick on the phone??
Er, yeah. Me too.
Getlo - cute'n'cuddly
Thing is; it was the mortician I chose to believe, not Geller.And again, I'm going to go with the medical examiner's eye witness account before I go with Larry Geller's account....
I had a feeling he might know.

Yes I did, but a rather short conversation. Today Mr. Daniel Warlick is attourney in Nashville, and he still remembers august 16 very clear. He called it a 'once-in-a-lifetime-experience' and has his very clear of the cause of Elvis' death. I also have some e-mail-communication going on about the interiour of the bathroom, and I will let you know, if he brings out new information.
Thanks.....that is very interesting to hear!

I had to correct something attributed to me that that wasn't complete.
I'll leave the rest to you, ma'm.
