For anyone who is a student of the death of Elvis Presley, there are many, many questions that have been asked over the years; many have been answered, but a few have not.

[CH.3:0002.2] 02h:30m
Following from CH.3:0002] 05h:20m: The critical time frame starts at 9:00am and ends at 2:20pm when the body is discovered on the bathroom floor. But is it possible to narrow it down further? Yes, it is. Elvis was determined to have died between roughly 9:00am and 11:30am, so we can place the latest time of […]

[CH.3:0010] Departure

[CH.3:0005] “Lying on the Bed”
At Baptist Hospital, shortly after Elvis had been pronounced dead, Joe Esposito told a MPD detective that Ginger Alden had found Elvis on the bathroom floor, she then called downstairs on the intercom for assistance, and that Al Strada had gone upstairs. According to Esposito, Strada then called for Esposito to come up, and when […]
