Well, I don't know what to say! I was away on a trip in South Greece for two days and the moment I returned home, I entered the forum and I saw this thread. I don't know if the picture in the coffin is fake or not but I find the whole thing rather upseting even to think about it. Anyway, what's the point now? Elvis is dead...
Goodbye Rosanne...Your "family" in TCB will always remember you.
i think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this subject and give the tcb detectives a break

Saying that the coffin picture has been sold to the NE is a fake doesn't mean that anyone deny that Elvis actually died on August 16 1977. The discussion isn't about that.
Any bright person would understand that a picture of Elvis in a coffin would sell for big bucks. It could also be that the seller of this photograph has been in Graceland for the funeral. And also that he hasn't taken any pictures. And that he (plus perhaps more people) worked very hard that week on to fabricate this coffinpicture.

Says someone who writes things like:
Um....how else would they have examined his brain without opening his head?
We all now know that drugs played a role in Elvis's death--but I honestly don't believe that Vernon wanted to believe that drugs were involved. I say "involved" because an irregular heart beat is what is officially listed as the cause of death (and this was announced even before the autopsy was complete!). Vernon agreed to the autopsy but he did question the reasons for it before agreeing to the procedure. He wanted to find out why his son had died at such an early age. He actually thought that maybe Ginger or David or someone else could have possibly killed Elvis...so, in that respect, I don't blame Vernon for wanting an autopsy. And besides, I believe an autopsy would have had to have been performed anyway because Elvis died under what could be termed "suspicious circumstances".
and:
Why? Because, as Rosanne (I believe) said earlier, it was to see if he might have been felled by an aneurysm....
The brain is always--always examined in an autopsy. Any ME who doesn't is basically breaking the law.
and:
Anybody who's knowledgeable about autopsies should know that they do, in fact, examine the brain.
Take a look at this: Autopsy Procedure
One important piece of info there:
Bone saw - used to cut through bone or skull
and:
I'm sure you've seen both...but, in this instance (being that it was such a high-profile case/death) a complete and full autopsy was done on Elvis-which included a cranial autopsy
and:
According to a friend of mine who spoke with one of the four embalmers who worked on Elvis, the family asked for the Memphis Funeral home to make Elvis appear like he did in the 1950s. That's why he looks so young.
The photo is real.. There are even two pictures taken from Elvis laying there.. slightly from a diffrent angle
never seen that colour version before again this pic looks different to the other ones posted
The color version is FAKE...It's the Enquirer pic colorized...but it's placed on a pic of the living room as it is today, look @ the carpet...Back @ the time of his death the red was still within Graceland, including the red carpeting in the living room.
Also take a close look at the white material draped over the front of the coffin...see how it ends? This is a digitally done photo and perhaps the reason for all the speculation of a "fake" Enquirer pic.
The 2 Enquirer photos are real, they (as I and 2 people supplied the name I could not recall) taken by Elvis' cousin Billy Mann.
There is no conspiracy, or switching of the body, or a wax figure, or fake photos, Elvis passed away on Aug. 16th...people/public saw him in his coffin. Let it be.

I never have seen where anyone claimed a body was switched or a wax figure was there ...except the ones protesting so much.
This is about a "doctored "picture that NE claimed to have and put in their paper.
None of this pictures are "real" .The one we're talking about is in the NE paper only.
Nice work, Simon sez....I agree .![]()
