Dr. George Nichopoulos, the personal physician to Elvis Presley, recently published a memoir revealing the true cause of the King's death: constipation: "He would get embarrassed, he’d have accidents onstage...it was really a physiological problem. During the last few years we were going back and comparing pictures, some of them were taken just two weeks apart but he looked like he’d gained 20 pounds when the only difference was that he had a good healthy bowel movement and then lost a lot of weight from that. Usually you pass it all in two or three days, but at the autopsy we found stool in his colon which had been there for four or five months because of the poor motility of the bowel...if they had done the colostomy then, he’d probably still be here. But it wasn’t acceptable treatment at that time."
