Controversy Around Elvis Presley’s Death at 42
Elvis Presley died on Aug. 16, 1977, in the bathroom of his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee. He was 42 at the time of death. He had been on the toilet but had fallen off onto the floor, where he lay in a pool of his own vomit. He was found by his girlfriend, Ginger Alden.

Okay you guys:
It’s already been mentioned that Valium and diazepam are the same thing. So is valmid and ethinamate. Also Avenal seems to be a town in California. I’m guessing they meant aventyl.
Anyway here’s the break down:
THREE opiate/opioid painkillers: morphine, Demerol, codeine
ONE antihistamine: chlorpheniramine
THREE sedative/hypnotics: Placidyl, Ethinamate(Valmid), quaaludes
ONE benzodiazepine: diazepam(Valium)
Valium/diazepam: benzodiazepine
FOUR barbiturates: Amytal, Nembutal, Carbrital, unknown
TWO antidepressants: Elavil, Aventyl
and
ONE cold medicine: Sinutab

“Sir, we’ve found some blood in your drug sample”.
Damn bro, leave some drugs for the rest of us.

He mistook a pharmacy for a buffet.
This sounds like the second fellowship of the ring.
Never forget both Elvis & Michael Jackson were avid “anti drug” advocates. Drugs don’t kill people, enablers kill people.
I did kinda read the title to the melody of Feel Good Hit of The Summer
And a partridge in a pear tree.

When they told him he was taking a drug test, he crammed the night before
Doctor: What Drug you want?
Elvis: Yes
an unidentified barbiturate ? man this guy was rollin’
He was apparently very anti illegal drugs oddly
