Elvis Presley died at his home, Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee on August 16, 1977. He was discovered unconscious in the bathroom by his then-girlfriend Ginger Alden. Although he was quickly transported to Baptist Memorial Hospital, doctors pronounced Elvis dead shortly after his arrival. He was only 42 years old. The Shelby County Medical Examiner listed the cause of death as "cardiac arrhythmia" or "severely irregular heartbeat." Basically, he died of a heart attack. Although the medical examiner reported that there were no signs of drug abuse at the time of his death, it is a well known fact that Elvis had been battling an addiction to prescription drugs for several years, and this may have contributed to his condition. He was originally buried at the Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis in a plot next to his mother, but after an overzealous fan attempted to dig up his remains, both bodies were moved to Graceland. Known as The King of Rock and Roll, or simply The King, Elvis sold more than 500 million records during his career and made 33 films. He recorded 104 singles that hit the Top 40 of the Billboard pop chart, and 18 of those singles hit number 1. Although he died in 1977, there are to this day Elvis "sightings" by fans who refuse to believe that The King has passed on.
