It is confusing. Ginger, I believe, was the last person to see Elvis alive before he died on his commodal throne (due to his terrible diet and pill habits). The man she later married (for whom this article is about) just happened to die on the same day her ex-beau Elvis did, albeit 38 years later, this past Sunday.
“(due to his terrible diet and pill habits)”
As i understand it, Heart disease ran on his mothers side of the family which he inherited genetically. This wasnt known or understood at the time of his death, but its known now.
The bad diet and pill abuse probably shaved just a few years off his lifespan. Chances are that if he hadnt abused pills and stuck to a more healthier diet, he still probably wouldnt have lived long enough to see 50.
