On August 16th, 1977, Elvis Presley, at the age of 42, suffered a massive heart attack while using the toilet at his home, Graceland. Elvis had apparently stumbled to the floor and was able to crawl several feet before he died. He was found by his fiancé, Ginger Alden. Elvis’s health had been in decline for several years, and this was greatly exacerbated through an addiction to prescription drugs. Elvis was initially buried at Forest Hills Cemetery in Memphis on August 18th, but when an attempt was made to steal his body only ten days later, his remains, as well as the remains of several other members of his family, were moved to Graceland, where they are still buried today.
