Today marks what would have been Elvis Presley's 90th birthday, however the King met his untimely death at the age of 43. The King of Rock and Roll's unexpected demise sent shockwaves through his fanbase, yet his family has historically been reticent about the autopsy findings.The iconic Mississippi-born singer was found unresponsive on the floor of his Graceland mansion's bathroom, having apparently collapsed near the toilet with his pyjama bottoms lowered.

Prior to his abrupt passing, Elvis' health had severely declined, exacerbated by years of drug misuse and poor dietary habits.His weight escalated to 25 stone after he secluded himself in his room, indulging in unhealthy snacks, leading to a situation so dire that he required a full-time nurse.

In 1975, it is said that he avoided bathing, resulting in sores all over his body.His diet, rich in fats, led to severe constipation; a post-mortem revealed a four-month-old stool lodged in his bowel.

Additionally, Elvis was heavily medicated, having been prescribed close to 9,000 various pills, vials, and injections in the months preceding his death.
