For decades, the story behind the death Elvis Presley became the target of conspiracy theories. However, now the mystery has been resolved.Elvis Presley death was not because of irregular heartbeat, as reported. Elvis Presley private physicians, George Nichopoulos said the king died because of chronic constipation.
"I did not realize how much he suffered because of constipation until the autopsy done," he said.
When the autopsy was conducted, Dr. Nichopoulos find Elvis duodenum reaches 12-15 cm in diameter, while the normal size is only 5-7 cm. Elvis duodenum also exceeds the standard length from 1.2 to 1.5 meters, Elvis duodenum reached 2.4 to 2.7 meters.
"After he died, I'm not sure (the cause of his death). So I keep doing a research. I just want to tell the truth which now makes sense after that research," he continued. He also said that the increase in Elvis body weight is because he suffered chronic constipation.
He also ever offered Elvis a procedure to cut his duodenum. However, he says, The King self esteem is too high and he declined the offer. Nichopoulos sure, Elvis might still be alive if he did the operation.
Elvis died at the age of 42 years on August 16, 1977. His body was found in his home, Graceland.
Nichopoulos just released his book titled 'The King and Dr Nick' which tells the time-time when he accompanied Elvis.
