From 10 Fascinating Last Pictures Taken
This last known photo of Elvis was taken on August 16 1977 at 12.28am. The picture was snapped as he is pulling into Graceland after a night out. That afternoon Presley was found on his bathroom floor by fiancée, Ginger Alden. According to the medical investigator, Presley had “stumbled or crawled several feet before he died”; he had apparently been using the bathroom at the time. Death was officially pronounced at 3:30 pm at Baptist Memorial Hospital.
Interesting Fact: Elvis had visited his dentist on August 15th to have a temporary crown put in and has been suggested that the codeine the dentist gave him that day resulted in an anaphylactic shock that assisted in his death because he had suffered allergic reactions to the drug previously.
Also featured: Will Rogers, Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Lady Diana and more.
Elvis: Over rated, overweight, and over dosed.
No paparazzi back in ’62? The last pic of Marilyn Monroe was taken nearly a month before she died?
DJ, there was paparazzi back in ’62, but it wasn’t the ‘stalking, big-business’ that it is today. Marilyn (and others) easily and frequently ‘slipped out’ in dark wigs and no make-up when she didn’t want to be bothered by the press.
Mike the dude could sing,but Im not a big fan of him

He was really fat in his last day…so the dentist should be responsible for his death?
