Quite possible he had genetic defects. Addiction genes for starters given the family history.

Nature vs nurture and then a combination of both.

genetic testing is far more advanced than the doctors ability to interpret and knowledge on how to deal with it......

He looked bloated in 1977, you can see from concert footage. Maybe that was caused by liver problems.

Interesting.
I’ve visited Graceland, he’s buried next to the swimming pool, they had to move him from the cemetery because people were chiseling pieces off the grave marker.

I don’t think just PB & Banana Sandwiches made him all that bloated, when he was doing the years in Vegas etc.

Given all I’ve read over the past year, Elvis was probably transgender

I was coaching high school football when Elvis died...
Another school in our area had a player and his name was Elvis Pressley...

When I walked into our locker room, another coach asked “Did you hear??? Elvis Presley died...”

I said “Did he die at football practice???”

He was a 350 pound junkie.

Not even the best of genes can overcome that life choice.

The sheer amount of drugs he abused would have killed anyone except perhaps Keef.

I was blessed with a gorgeous buck fuddy for a year who claimed she was at an Elvis concert in Vegas, front row and afterward a private security for elvis approached her and said Elvis wants to see her and her friend in his hotel room so they went. She said he just wanted to whack it in front of them, kid you not, she claimed it was true story

not sure what it has to do with his medical condition but I think fame and fortune comes with a curse

Not a haunted star, but a Black Star. The only song The King himself wrote and sang.

Wait. We’re now admitting he died? Didn’t get that memo.

If I see the word “shocking” in the title I assume it’s clickbait.

Elvis certainly had some strong genes; meaning his daughter Lisa has a strong resemblance to him.

Lisa had an adult son who, unfortunately, did away with himself last year. This young man looked remarkably like his Granddad. That particular fact may have added stress to his life, with all the adults saying ‘Wow. You look just like him, but I hope you don’t end up the same way!’.

It still seems hard to imagine that at one time, Lisa was
Mrs. Michael Jackson.

Elvis isn’t dead.

He’s fighting evil at the Shady Rest retirement home in Texas.

I think I’ve read more than once that Elvis, among some other celebrities (I think Ava Gardner was one) was thought to have perhaps been of Melungeon background. (I don’t know if they carried any specific genetic problems.)

Elvis was also a very heavy drug user.

Peanut butter and banana sandwiches fried in butter, washed down with Dr. Pepper.
