Commission
proves Elvis’s
funeral faked
'JTiE BATTALION
Stick
MONETA, Va. (AP) — Dead
men don’t sweat.
That’s one reason the Presley
Commission claims to have proof
the King lives.
Threats from organized crime
forced Elvis to fake his demise
and stage a phony funeral replete
with his perspiring wax likeness
inside a coffin so he could enter
the federal witness protection
program, a commission report
said Friday.
Elvis has moved from place to
place, living in disguises and us
ing a dozen aliases and validating
at least some of the sightings re
ported in supermarket tabloids,
the report contended.
After working on the conspira
cy theory for 2 1/2 years, the com
mission’s writers, researchers,
unidentified federal officials and
other assorted gumshoes un
veiled their report at Camper’s
Paradise Resort in Moneta.
Phil Aitcheson, a freight truck
ing broker who put the commis
sion together, did it all with a
straight face.
“This was a very serious effort.
A lot of people spent a great deal
of money and time and effort to
determine the truth,” he said.
The 25 members used materi
als from several best-selling
books purporting to show that
Elvis faked his death and ob
tained hundreds of new govern
ment and medical documents un
der the Freedom of Information
Act.
And here, the Presley Com
mission maintained, is the shock
ing truth:
The body found in the bath
room of Presley’s Memphis,
Tenn., mansion, Graceland, on
Aug. 16, 1977, actually was the
cousin of the King’s manager.
What mourners passing the
King’s catafalque saw was a wax
dummy cooled by an elaborate
system of dry ice and battery-
powered, soundproof fans con
cealed inside the casket.
That, the commission said, ex
plains why a dead Elvis sweats.
Aitcheson and the investiga
tive coordinator performed their
own experiment by cooling a wax
candle in the freezer, then taking
it out into room temperature.
Condensation formed on the can
dle’s surface.
Elvis wanted people to think
he was dead to protect himself
and his family from death threats
stemming from his top-secret role
as a government agent.
In 1970, President Nixon
named Elvis an honorary special
agent at large for the agency that
would become the Drug Enforce
ment Administration. Rumors
about Elvis’ drug use were spread
to support a cover-up, the after-
math of which continues to this
day, the commission said.
“There is a pretty good chance
you wouldn’t even recognize him
if you saw him on the i street,”
Aitcheson said. “This guy is a
master of disguise and he’s had to
do this to protect himself and his
privacy.”
Why didn’t the King of Rock ’n’
Roll attend the wedding of his
only child, Lisa Marie, to the
King of Pop, Michael Jackson?
“We’re not so sure he wasn’t
there,” Aitcheson said.
He said one witness suggests
that a white-haired man wearing
a baseball cap pictured in the
background of a nuptial photo
was the incognito father of the
bride.
