"“They really tried to push Elvis beyond his capacity in the last few years of his life. He was disabled,” says Dr. Forest Tennant, a retired physician and pain management expert who is one of the last people alive to be intimately familiar with Elvis’ drug use and medical problems.
In 1981, Tennant was hired by an attorney for Dr. George Nichopoulos (Dr. Nick), who faced criminal charges in Presley’s death. Tennant reviewed the autopsy report, medical records and a confidential 161-page private investigation, and testified as a defense witness for Nichopoulos, who would be acquitted of charges for overprescribing drugs.
after the trial, Tennant remained curious about Elvis’ medical problems and continued his research while treating people with intractable pain. the knowledge and experience he gained led to his book, titled, “The Strange Medical Saga of Elvis Presley.”
Elvis did suffer from heart problems aggravated by his excessive use of drugs, but Tennant believes the ultimate cause of death was Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), leading to intractable pain and other chronic health problems.
Elvis Presley died at the age of 42. his mother passed away at a similar age and his daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, recently passed at age 54.
