Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977, at the age of 42. He passed away at his Graceland home in Memphis, Tennessee. The official cause of death was a heart attack, with the coroner describing it as "cardiac arrhythmia," a severely irregular heartbeat. Despite speculation, drugs were ruled out as the cause of his death though prescription drugs were found in his system. Elvis had been dealing with several health issues, including hypertension, an enlarged colon, and mild diabetes prior to his death.
