He Uidel is go so fed up with people following him Asoono pestering him and Irilina ill those awful Ilo Rirs because he Hud put on i few pounds let he faked his own death so he could hive some peace and quiet. It All adds  i told the Reader thai there was some pretty convincing evidence that Elvis Presley died on aug. 16 1977, and his funeral was one of the most incredible displays of hero worship that this country has Ever seen. Since that column appeared 1 Hare been swamped with letters from readers who Jay i am mistaken. Pull up a chair and took at my mail. Dear Ann Landers there seems to be some disagreement As to whether or nol Elvis Presley ii alive. Let me Settle it once and for All the King lives 1 attended his funeral and lingered at the casket for quite a while before the guards made me move on Elvis was nol in that casket. It was a was Dummy. I stood very close and had the Opportunity to look at him for a Long time. I would bet my life on it. Stamford Conn. From Albany. . _.,the Man they buried was an Elvis look alike. I recall that a Young Guy in California was so obsessed with Elvis that he paid a plastic surgeon $20,000 to make his face look like Presley s. The results were fantastic. That s the fellow they buried. From Bay City Mich i have seen Elvis in the supermarket. Once he gave me a Wink As if to say Don t Tell anybody. Several people in Kalamazoo Bow where Elvis lives but they respect his privacy and arc protecting him from the Media. From Nashville my Cousin was president of the Elvis fan club about 100 mites from Here. When they announced that the King had died Hii father Vemon Presley called All the fan club presidents and told them not to come to the funeral. My Cousin suspected something was fishy. She went to Memphis anyway but Raul in t get near Graceland. Finally she gave up in disgust and went Home convinced thai the funeral was staged and that Elvis had t died at All. From Henderson by my Uncle works in a place thai manufactures cof fins the elaborate coffin that Elvis was mined in can be obtained Only by special order because it taxes a Long Lime to construct. Elvis coffin was ordered sever Al weeks in Advance which proves that his death was planned Long before the Public was Lold that he died. From Bismarck . My sister s Niece works in the courthouse where elvis1 death certificate was processed. The original certificate slated that the body weighed 170 pounds. The paramedics who picked him up said he weighed at least 250 pounds. Looks like there were two corpses does t it to add to the mystery the first death certificate disappeared and was never found. Dear readers what you have just read is a Small sampling of the mail thai continues to pour in. Meanwhile amid All the Elvis is still alive hysteria 1 saw a glimpse of sanity in the words of rabbi Ben Kamlin of Cleveland who wrote the following in the new York times Elvis Presley Brilliant stunning original became As sick in spirit As he was Sublime in song. His music May have been Good but his lifestyle was bad. Elvis died from an addiction to drugs and alcohol. The end ol1 his life was a cacophony of indulgence and irresponsibility. He was nol martyred he was stoned.
