Groomed Priscilla? You should read ,,Child Bride,, and will see the real things about that.Elvis never wanted to get married,and her parents,her mother and step father,threatened him to marry her.She had plenty of boyfriends in Germany and had sex with person called Curry Grant who was stationed in Germany ,so she could meet Elvis in return.
Do Hillary !!!!!!!
HILLARY HAS THE BIGGEST KILL LIST BIGGER THAN ANY SERIAL KILLER
Do John podesta
Any doctor who “doesn’t remember” prescribing so many medications doesn’t need to have a medical license. And none of those were for constipation.
Exactly ! I just wanna know how they get away with this stuff ! Why aren’t they stripped of their licenses right then and there ?!
@@222.v0nDutchess because they are connected and protected.
He was no longer a doctor but his drug dealer!
Opiates constipate incredibly
No joke
Like what in the world!?
As someone who has started to get invested into Elvis life after watching the movie I keep learning more and more about how horrible people were when it came to Elvis. But I do think the fault does land on Parker cause if it wasn’t for Parker getting the doctor to prescribe those pills to Elvis then he would have never gotten addicted
I agree Parker was a scum bag who only cared about making money and keeping Elvis as a prisoner just to clear his gambling debts and when Elvis wanted out his manager took all of his money that's not okay. Also he didn't care about Elvis well being either that's sad. I feel the drugs and meds weren't necessary at all knowing it was killing him. I do agree that it was parker fault for having Dr Nick putting Elvis on pills which weren't helping in the first place and i mean feel bad for how Elvis had to put up with Parker until he had enough and fired him knowing about parker background. As for Dr Nick don't think he was prescribing Elvis healthy at all. Also his mother tried to warn Elvis to not trust Parker period knowing he was gonna screw him over in the end.
He was Parker’s cash cow for his gambling debts.
@@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468 yep and I hate that all he saw with Elvis was dollar signs
@@mysticray905 Exactly all Parker cares about is himself
So very true 🥺😭
My brother at 19 died same day 4 years later. Still remember both. Overdose . Not a junkie, too much partying…. Too much at wrong time….. miss you Billy…. Still painful years later. ✌🏼
Sorry about your brother ... Going 40 years without him that's really a shame
@@gardensofthegods TY
Sorry for your loss. I have 3 young sons . I cant imagine the pain of losing any one of them. May you and your loved ones be comforted🙏
Loosing a sibling is like loosing part of yourself. I feel sadly siblings loose out to parents grief Peace and love to you.
@@statusdisarray9598 thank you
He was constipated for four months, that’s ridiculous. And he was only 42 same old as me. This is so similar to Michael Jackson
I've been there, and it's not fun. It's really painful, I went to the hospital once because I thought an organ was failing lol. I'm anemic so I have to take a lottttt of iron so I'm almost always constipated, I can't even remember the last time I had a whole healthy poop. It's always little rabbit balls every so often. Idk how he dealt with it, so many prescriptions, but none were stool softeners?!
Yes!! I kept saying that myself, so similar to MJ, both so sad
@@TheNinjaNiky god you poor thing. I’m always low in iron too as I’m a vegan but I hardly ever get constipated thank god 🙏 do you eat cereal? You need to get a lot of fibre it’s Great for the digestive system
@@sheila7909 yes I try and do everything I can, but I've been like this since I was a kid. I'm just like this now😂 I've been dealing with it since I was like 10, so 20 years now. I've gotten used to it. I thankfully don't get stomach pain really from constipation anymore though, used to a lot, but it's gotten a lot better. Especially after I had my gallbladder and all that taken out when I was 17, that exploded and was casuing diabetes and pancreatitis, but they went away after the surgery thankfully. Worst I really deal with nowadays is the occasional kidney problem, especially infections. I'd rather have another child than have a bad kidney infection again🤣 the fatigue and all from the anemia I'm pretty used to dealing with and working around
Sloan coming through with the consistent and thorough content. 😍
I'm from here (Memphis) and my aunt knew elvis because of Dr. Nick and there's ALOT that Noone knows and because of legal reason people can't speak on until the autopsy is public, but everyone will be SHOCKED! Also Ginger didn't call the police, she called Joe and He told Billy to call them. As far as dr.nick he was in so much debt that elvis could have asked for ANYTHING and he would have wrote them for elvis! Elvis was his cash cow. Linda threatened to expose Dr. Nick but elvis made her feel like he'd stop if she didn't. Ginger on the other hand is not, NOT a good person AT ALL! I can't and won't say what but she should be in trouble herself! She says she didnt write the book until her kid went to college....but thats absolutely not why she waited! Anyways everyone except Linda, that was around elvis WERE YES MEN AND FAILED HIM! And Dr. Francisco, he is still alive btw, he also did Dr. Kings autopsy as well. Unfortunately our Medical examiner's have a history of being shady and able to be bought. Look up O.C. Smith
Thanks for sharing this!
Before Joe Esposito died he gave an interview saying that Elvis committed suicide & there was a note that he burned to protect Elvis image & family from the pain of Elvis taking his own life?
Wow... This one was an interesting subject. I've never really gotten myself that much into Elvis until I saw the recent biopic come out. But his own physical health aside, not only is the doctor to blame, but his manager as well. His manager basically worked him like a horse and allowed him to get pumped up with drugs, whether he was able to go onto the stage or not.
I definitely see a lot similarities with Elvis' death and Michael Jackson's death. They were both under the supervision of "doctors" that prescribed them with lethal amounts of drugs, overworked and taken advantage of by their own management team, they both ended up dying young. It's just sad that often times, celebrities can't even trust the people within their inner circle.
Pain killer or really any medication overdoses hit way too close to home for me. I lost my grandmother, who actually was a huge Elvis fan, to an overdose when I was young. I lost my aunt last year to an overdose as well. Both were from different medications. It’s awful, and my heart goes out to anyone who has experienced a loss like this, was once battling the addiction, and/or is dealing with something similar 💚💜
Omg Sloan..you are SO CLOSE to a million subscribers friend!! 3/4 the way there! We are all so proud of you, & you are adorable...NEVER CHANGE & KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK, YOUR CONTENT IS STELLAR!! ❤
As a fan of Avicii I can't wait for your video about him. Another talented musician gone way too soon 😔Also, please make a video on Michael Jackson's death if you haven't already. His doctor was also sketchy...
❤️🎵❤️🩹
Please do a video on Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston’s deaths
I just wanna say that you are doing such an amazing job with your content. I have watched all your videos, an I have notifications on for your video uploads. I'm always excited for when you post. Keep up the great work! You're doing awesome! 😎😁
45 years and he’s still remembered. Elvis was taking from us too soon. RIP king of rock and roll.
Yes, please make as many informative videos as you can. There’s not a lot out there in regards to Elvis. I saw the movie and learned a lot I didn’t know he was also very depressed.
@@traciebailey6623 that's true there are a lot of things about him
Remember, the movie was not factual. It was just entertainment.
I love you Elvis.
Always been such a fan. Can't bring myself to watch this. But thank you for the vid Sloan. X
Sloan as a Prosecutor: "Your honor, the defense was acting brand new."
Aug 16th around 2pm !! Checking date and time you released this ....I see what you did there! 👌
I'm a Retired Nurse and I can tell you ( as gross as it is ) with the amount of drugs he's taking I'm not surprised at all at how constipated he was. Sometimes fecal matter can be so bad that it has to be "dug out" of the patient!!
I remember having to help a loved one because she was so backed up. Cancer is such an ugly thing. But afterwards she was so much more comfortable.
i appreciate you also covering things that happened that people assume we know all about, i will never get tired of watching you! miss your dog in the back tho...
Same kind of "doctor" as Michael Jackson. Two men with sad lives, medical problems, and pushed hard because so many people depended on him financially. Tragic
Sloan I love you and your content keep it up!
Dr Nic has a conscience which will catch up to him sooner or later ....
Thank you for handling this sensitive subject in an objective manner.
Much love to all Elvis fans out there!
I've lived in Memphis all my life. When I was a teenager, I was visiting a neighbor who was locked up at the county correctional center. Locked up with him was one of the men who stole Elvis' body. From what he told me (because of course I had to ask him questions), they did get the coffin and nearly dropped it. They got pulled over either right inside or outside the cemetery and arrested. He said that they were paid to steal it. Now he could have been just making up stories. But the cemetery he was originally buried at (where his mom was buried) is an older cemetery where I have lots of relatives. Please do a segment on it! I never ran into Elvis or met him but I did use to run into Jerry Lee Lewis at a dive bar named the Underground back in the late 70s.
It's just sad what money, fame, and fortune can make people do or can do to you. I'm so sorry and sad for all the celebrities or anyone who has suffered at the hands of drugs and abuse and other things. May Elvis rest in peace as well as others. 🙏😭
Also really appreciate the research that went into this and how calm and neutral you speak on topics. I feel like that's something that's significant and missing in today's society when it comes to addressing things.
Elvis went through so much Hell during his last moments. Dying on the shitter is the most humiliating way to go. RIP Elvis Aaron Presley. I hope you know you are loved by your fans.
Severe constipation can be fatal on its own so please anyone reading this if you have that problem don’t take it lightly. Go to your doctor and treat it as a serious problem because it is. I care about all people and just want you all to be okay.
Aww how kind you are 😊
You’ll have to make a podcast on Lisa now 😢
Sloan! We love you, King! Elvis! We love you too, King!
I wanna know WHY ppl wanted to steal his body?! Like why? Lol what did they want with it? And its also just really gross, disturbing and really really bad karma! Great video Sloan! Another banger for the win! XoXo
grave robbers are looking for valuables like jewelry they can steal to sell for cash...
Thank u for making this video ! I have always been a fan and it was just so sad …
Y’all I’m starting to feel like we need to protect Sloan
Very insightful thanku
*Please* talk about Anna Nicole Smith, her death also had a lot to do with prescribed medication.. I've been going down a rabbit hole lately about her.
❤ Sloan.
Serious fact: Chronic constipation is a real problem but not only because of the toxicity which can leak into your blood system but also you can quite literally have an aneurysm if you are trying to "expel" the fecal matter with force hence the red eyes
I had no idea about 90% info u gave me! Woooow, great research
The doctor knew if he didn't give elvis the meds he wanted he would get them from a different doctor so either way he would have had the same outcome unfortunately.
Thank you..thank you very much
Unbelievable the docter got away with this....there must be some cooperation there...Off-topic; I love your hair this way Sloan💗💗💗💗
not only did he give too many pills out to Elvis but he also borrowed money from him. He also had a dentist prescribing and a doctor from Las Vegas. Please do more on Elvis.
Being constipated for 4 months would be a real shitty thing to go through
There’s a nerve in the butt that’s called the “vagus nerve”. When stimulated (through the force of pooping) it causes a drop in the heart rate. Coupled with the many opioids and downers he was taken that already slowed his heart, i believe his heart just stopped and he fell forward.
I believe the vagus nerve is in the head space, the butt??? 😂
The vagus nerve is in your neck.
The poster meant to say valsalva maneuver-
Haven't we learned history repeats itself when are we going to really make the necessary changes
You're not missing out on the movie, there were to many inaccuracies and the timeline of events were all backwards, entire HUGELY important people in his life were excluded from the story, etc. It was very disappointing in that way tbh.
What about the pharmacists? Surely they should’ve flagged up that amount of drugs that were going to one patient?
Love to you Sloan.
*FUN FACT* - This is same "Dr." that The Simpsons used for the basis of "Dr. Nick" on the show. "Hi Ev-ery-Bod-y!!!!".
WHERE IS THE AVICII VIDEO 🥺🥺🥺🥺 waiting for it already 🥰
I so love SL0AN one of my favorites 😍 💓 ❤️ 💗 I binge watch ur videos your so dope continue to bring the great content ❤️
love your videos!!! keep it up, :)
Elvis Presley's doctor = Conrad Murray
Conrad Murray Michael Jackson
@@julianmiguel6508 I was trying to say that MJ's doctor and Mr Presley's doctor operated in simiar ways.
*similar
@@wuzienlani2821 ok
Hey Sloan can you link you video about Avichii I can’t find it for some reason?
Doctor Nick was the original Conrad Murray.
Just and fyi... The burial plot shown at 2:52 mark is his father's plot, and not Elvis himself. His full name is: Elvis Aaron Presley, and he died August 16, 1977. His is the one to the left of the one shown.
Great vid, thanks.
I understand that celebrities like elvis and Michael have their own minds, but at the end of the day. Cases like this clearly show that 90% of people around them do not care for their “friend” “patient” and are only either in it from the money, fame or whatever they can get out of it. It’s tragic considering he had a young daughter that was left behind. It’s so sad they needed people around them who put their foot down
The picture shown of the grave was that of Elvis’ father just fyi.
Please please do a video about johnny cash and Janis Joplin 😊
You know, the Johnny Depp trial was eye opening to me…and kind of reminds me of Elvis’s death.
These famous people get their own personal doctors. If you’re having a bad day, here Johnny, take this. Is Amber being a psycho? Oh, let’s dose her with some Seraquil. We will calm her down.
Elvis couldn’t sleep, so he calls down for his doctor to give him drugs, and he has those drugs delivered to him after 5 minutes.
Why do celebrities get their own personal doctor that will prescribe different cocktails of drugs, but the rest of us have to just lay in bed and toss and turn or take an aspirin if we’re hurting and hope we can get an appointment at our doctors quickly.
Can we maybe let Elvis rest in peace? He was a good man, a great humanitarian, and gave to people less fortunate because he wanted to.
Thank you
So Ginger is the first to see that Elvis is dead before anyone else in the house , but is not mention in the movie' Elvis and Me' that she discovered his lifeless body. And Linda Thompson was there since she was living there is not mention in the new movie. Elvis story is still not told accurately?
Sloan your hair looks so cute in this video. Them curls popppin boy lol 🤩
It was said that EP was writing his own prescriptions under Dr. Nich's license which could explain why he had no knowledge of how many pills were prescribed
I agree
It’s really frustrating that UA-cam is not letting watch your video about Aviici ☹️ UA-cam are blocking it
The heart is the pump Sloan.
OMG! I just noticed.....a quack doctor called Dr Nick!!! It's the Simpsons!!!!
Dr. Nick from the Simpson was inspired by the character of Elvis doctor Dr Nick
it’s clear as day the doctor did something to Elvis, that poor man! the same thing that happened with Michael Jackson. the doctor blamed Michael saying that he “got out of bed and got the medicine” like no what are you on about?
Simular type of doctor as Michael Jackson had. Quack.
This was so interesting to watch and learn more about the circumstances of his death. I knew he wasn‘t healthy and hooked on some sort of drugs before his passing but I didn‘t know it was that serious. But I’ve always thought 42 is very young to have a „heart attack“, now it makes sense. Reminds me so much of MJ‘s death.
You can't take that much medication for that long and not know something bad is going to happen.
Oh I was waiting for this to be covered. Just another Hollywood shady doctor. Of course his food habits didn't help.
This sounds eerily similar to what happened to michael jackson when it comes to the perception medication.
from a report that I heard he was not on the toilet, he was in a chair in the bathroom when he fell and passed away. He went in there to sit down and read not to go to the bathroom from what that report said.
This is so similar to Micheal Jackson’s death propa weird
When MJ died literally everybody couldn't stop talking about how he died and lived so similarly to Elvis. Not to mention MJ was a mega Elvis fan.
I need to see that movie too I am disabled and rarely go anywhere besides work and the doctors office. I know you probably live too far away but would be cool if me and a group of your fans went with you to see it. 🌝
One thing to add -
MONEY TALKS💰💲
💲💰💰💲💰💲💰💲💰
Elvis was not a good guy. sorry. not saying he deserved this though, no one does.
obviously you know nothing about him if you think that.
Elvis also had a creepy codependency with his mother. Apparently they would talk to each other in baby voices. That would be interesting to explore
First
Where is the avicii video?? I didn’t notice it
The fact this was posted Tuesday August 16th is wild
4 months of const......wow wow so ftkn terrible
It not true. If you were constipated for 4 months he can't move because of the pain. Elvis was constantly touring and his girlfriend who was woth him the day he died, said he was in a good mood, he was not suffering from anything.
Sloan you remind me of Elvis btw!
“hE wAsNt HeaLThY” 😭💀😂
Dr Nick was also Jerry Lee Lewis's Dr for some time.
In rx-land we call this doctor a “candy doctor”
ahhh a story from my hometown. 👏🫶🏼 but honestly, the famous Graceland has been no farther than fifteen mins away from me since i was a young girl, but I have never been there to tour it. its a thing, though, so many memphis residents have never and will never go to it lol 😂 i think what has drawn the minimal local groups to go is the fact john stamos is pre recorded thru the whole tour, played thru small headphones you receive when you check in 🤣
Residents, who know what an amazing artist and person Elvis was, do go visit his home!
@@janc5121 i’d tour the plane if that’s a single option still lol
THE DOCTOR IS FOUL. I get they aren't ALL to blame, but it's the negligence that's outstanding to me. As a healthcare student, we are always taught to put patients needs first, but it's crazy how money clouds all of that.
Same happens to most celebs and MJ
Once you become a doctor things are much different than your schooling . After a while it becomes money over healthcare especially if you become a doctor to a celebrity. it’s disgusting but we see it time & time again .. elivis, mj, Anna Nicole etc
Once you get in the field you'll see how administration and senior leadership will make ways for this crap
I feel like the doctor KNEW that Elvis was wealthy like obviously due to fame but like...maybe later on getting a bit too confident when poisoning him and not realizing he's overdosing him. Like I may understand in general if he wasn't making the doses so high the reasoning of "I don't want him to get it through street drugs"
1. Because street drugs can be laced with things and 2. If street drugs KILLED the person, they'd also go after whoever got them addicted which sadly more often than not are doctors trying to help, I get this doctor in particular isn't great so I would understand blaming this doctor lol
I'm gonna be the one Sloan to say that Elvis faked his dead and he was a shy guy that didn't want the fame anymore....
Constipation from opioids is very common and incurable without stopping the pills. It’s no wonder he was so backed up. It almost sounds like he was trying to go and strained so hard he put himself into cardiac arrest. His heart was already weakened from him taking 3 packets of pills in one night!
Opioids also cause respiratory depression. When you’re not taking in enough oxygen it strains the heart and can lead to cardiac arrest
Yeah exlax always would help.. wbut I used to be addicted to pills and correct there is no going to bathroom… exlax just makes it hurt terribly.. but being so backed up you kill yourself by squeezing too hard wow if that was the case that would be pretty crazy… 4 months tho I can’t imagine.. the story seems as if he was probably trying to go to bathroom Foreal and just couldn’t do it
@@simplyspice7916 HE WASN'T A SICKO. HE was a womanizer for sure, and during that time it was normal to date really young women. IT WAS WHAT IT WAS. I don't agree with it, but it was a different time. SO STOP. He wasn't evil, so fucking stop bashing him
@@ivoryglass3589 Guy was def a creep lol didnt he groom his wife? And wasnt he known for having a thing for teens.. pretty sure he was a creep
@@ivoryglass3589 I mean it was the norm but was it legal? Thats the bottom line. There’s no excuse for illegal things no matter if it was “the thing” to do during that time.
My late father actually took care of Elvis at the Baptist hospital. He was a respiratory therapist and always told me how very sick Elvis was, and that he believed his doctor was responsible for the death due to all the drugs.
Was he smelly ?! I’m so unnecessary 😅😅
That’s a terrible question to ask! Would you like someone asking that question about you?
I think your father was absolutely right. Elvis trusted his doctor - and because his dr was prescribing the medication - Elvis probably put his trust in him. Poor Elvis - firstly he should have been sent to the hospital months ago with that chronic constipation. So very sad. 😢
He had a bad heart his health was horrible.quit worshiping the the war on drugs propagynda
@@samkerr117
Ma che commento è...? Mi scusi ma si astenga dal farli....
Everything surrounding Elvis was bizarre. Up to his death.. it's insane..

Personally that’s how I feel about Michael Jackson
@@snoodlebug1800 yes! His death was very mysterious
Oh wow...a rich celeb being used for cash until their health falters...not that surprising genius...🙄attempt to sound like you have intelligence next time.
@@HuntressQueen94 Elvis' dad requested a second opinion autopsy and wants it released (the results) in 2027 for the 50th anniversary of his death, I am thinking that the final autopsy will point towards suicide 🙁
The poor man apparently had 3-4 stone of faeces backed up almost into his chest area. So neglected by greedy people.

I personally wouldn’t feel that bad for a gr00m3r but to each their own
That’s just really gross to think about. But yikes. Eww.
Been an Elvis fan for years and I think he was worked to death and from what his ex said, his manager didn’t care about Elvis well being and would get the doctor to give him something to be able to perform.
I’m not saying Elvis was a complete saint but I feel that he was taken advantage of by a lot of people because they knew as long as Elvis worked, they would continue to get paid. His life was sad and I think had his mother still been alive, his life would of been very different for the better. I don’t think she would of put up with a lot of things and Elvis depended on his mother and he was lost without her.
It’s sad. 😭 RIP Elvis.
Isn't he a pdf file? I don't feel sorry for him
@@esot2093 back in the day older men dated younger women if he was a pedo then so was every other man back then.
@@esot2093 yes
Yeah Hollywood will make you work A LOT
@@Letizia2810 it was still pedophilia back then too… just cuz it was more accepted doesn’t change the fact he’s a pedophile then and now even in death.
Dr. Nich was guilty as sin. He knew damn well what he was doing. The money kept flowing so he kept prescribing. It was only a matter of time. Same as Michael Jackson's doctor giving him the propofol.
Great job reporting Sloan.
My mom took me to see him in concert March 1977, I was 6yo and I still have the ticket stubs. My grandfather was stationed in Germany the same time Elvis was there, and she was the same age as Pricilla. I will never forget my mom's wails when he died, it was crazy.
This is wild as I’ve been down a ✨rabbit hole✨ between Marilyn Monroe, Shirley temple and now Elvis. Your videos have been right on track with my hyperfixations haha thank you for this! Can’t wait to see the avicii episode!!! As a lover of EDM and fan of avicii I thank you for bringing more of these issues to light so we can talk about it and NOT repeat it.

Have you seen anything questioning whether Elvis had ehlers-danlos syndrome? Unfortunately we will never get a 100% answer....but I definitely wonder if he had medical conditions we didn't know about!
@@heartslove8449 you are absolutely correct, that's part of why we will never get a solid answer on what happened. The symptoms and use of lots of drugs can present the same way and make it impossible to know what is what. He also may have been self medicating before he was prescribed and already had an addiction. My father self medicated for so long...oddly enough he had less issues with the epilepsy when he was taking mushrooms, acid and mescaline.....we now know that those meds can help with many conditions. This comment section is pretty respectful, I've seen some be absolutely toxic or dead set on diagnosing him just from what little info we know.
This is kind of a tangent, but I wish that discussions of constipation weren’t seen as gross to talk about. A loved one of mine has IBS, and has suffered a lot of pain from it. Being blocked up like that hurts. It can cause pain in the stomach, back, and pelvis. It can result in spinal damage as well as rectum damage. It also can heighten anxiety and create feelings similar to a heart attack and panic attack. I’ve had friends who went to the hospital sure they were dying only to be told it was constipation. Treatment of it with laxatives is hell for a lot of people. Laxatives, even gentle ones, can render a person immobile for hours- being confined to the bathroom or lying in bed with extreme cramping.
Clearly, Elvis was abusing drugs. But I don’t doubt that he was being at least partially honest about being in pain, and I don’t doubt that he wanted pain killers to help with it. Yeah, there are better options than drugs and hamburgers. But being constipated for four whole months? I’d lose my mind.
