WIS News 10 - Columbia, South Carolina | TCB RIP: Mon. 27th anniversary of death of Elvis Presley
Member Center:
(Memphis, Tennessee-AP-NBC) Aug. 16, 2004 - A candlelight vigil was held Sunday night at Graceland to mark the passing of the "King of Rock and Roll."
Elvis Presley died 27 years ago, on August 16th. He was found unconscious in his palatial home and was pronounced dead in a hospital.
The local medical examiner blamed his death on an overdose of mixed drugs and complications of severe heart disease. Presley was just 42-years-old, and his cultural appeal still endures.
Fans from across the country arrived at his former home in Memphis, Tennessee. His grave is in a garden next to the estate.
The vigil capped a week-long string of activities, including performances by Elvis impersonators, parties and fan club meetings.
One woman who traveled from upstate New York says she can feel Elvis' spirit when she enters the driveway at Graceland.
