Elvis myths/untruths you once believed

[Raised on Rock]

Do you know around which month of '73 did ELvis had his heart attack? didnt know anything about it.

[Cryogenic]

I can't remember. But it apparently occured onboard the Lisa Marie, if I recall correctly.

Someone chime in, please.

If it occurred on the Lisa Marie, that would mean it happened in '75 at the earliest.

I can't help you out with this one because I'm not familiar with it. It does call to mind an incident in which he became very short of breath while on the Lisa Marie. He put his mouth up to an air vent, but that didn't help much so he demanded an emergency landing, which I think happened in Dallas.

Now, I do remember reading in some account about his death that the heart attack that killed him* was not his first one. I want to say it was Down At The End Of Lonely Street. But no specific date or year was specified, I don't think. I believe it was purportedly a postmortem conclusion that he had experienced a prior episode--a major one, at that.

1973 was a year during which several serious drug episodes occurred. Could you possibly be thinking of one of those? If not, I'd be very interested to learn more about this.

* - Not to imply that as being a certainty!

Perhaps this is my mind playing tricks. It wouldn't be the first time.

I wish someone with a BIG Elvisian knowledge could chime in! Please, please.

I gotta admit... it's still a pretty shocking revelation if true.

Alot of people have claimed different things with Elvis and his health. I have never heard of another heart attack except from Charlie Hodge. I have heard supposely there was evidence of at least one other heart attack from the autopsy. If he had had one prior to 77 and his death I think that would have come to light from Dr. Nick in a big way since many blamed him for not giving better treatment to Elvis. He would have been yelling from the roof tops that he had already had a heart attack. I have never heard this from.
