When I was nine years old I sat in a sold out theater, just sixty miles from Memphis and watched an Elvis triple feature. Speedway, Charro and Frankie and Johnny. To say I'm a fan is an understatement.
I've made my "pilgrimage" to Graceland many times before and after his death.
With that said I believe Elvis contributed to his early death because he was denied nothing. A life of excess is often short. What ever demons the man had they got the best of him.
I'm forever a fan of the king!
I believe Elvis took his own life by injecting several days' worth of barbiturates into his system at one time.
Is there anything in particular that gives you that idea?
Certainly his toxicology reports indicated the presence of various pharmaceuticals, but I don't recall there being any evidence of a single, massive dose of barbituates immediately before his death, particularly one administered by hypodermic injection.
To have saved Elvis, he would have to have been forcibly detained in a hospital or clinic, to wean him off his drug addiction. Who was going to be able to get this done? Just a sad story all round.
And not all that different than any other celebrity with drug addiction, e.g. Whitney Houston, Heath Ledger, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Chris Farley, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, River Phoenix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain...
It's obviously very hard for those around celebrities to say no to them.

Elvis had a stepbrother named David Stanley. In interviews, he went in to very specific detail about Elvis' battery of drugs that he was taking, that Elvis was doing a lot of reading of not only scripture, but about death as well.
Anyway, the guy detailed Elvis' daily injections that he would take, and noted that Elvis had a 4-day supply the day before he died, and intimated to the man that he would not see him again.
BTW, I do not believe a single word that Dr. Nick or Dr. Francisco has ever said about it, and I think the autopsy was a grand sham.

not for a nano second do I think he would ever take his life on purpose.
A) his child was in the house
B) regardless of his behavior to the contrary, he was a very religious person
