Elvis Presley’s stepbrother, David Stanley, has made shocking allegations about the American musician’s death, claiming it was caused by overprescription from Dr. George Nichopoulos, Elvis’s personal physician. Elvis, the iconic “King of Rock and Roll,” died in 1977 at the age of 42 from a heart attack in his Graceland home. While his death has long been attributed to health issues, Stanley believes his stepbrother’s reliance on medication was the true culprit.
Speaking out, Stanley revealed that Dr. Nichopoulos, nicknamed Doctor Nick, provided Elvis with an astonishing quantity of pills in the months before his passing. “Dr. Nick gave him over 10,000 pills in the last eight months of his life,”Stanley claimed. He added, “Who needs 33 sleeping pills to fall asleep or cocaine to wake up? The medications wrecked his health and hastened his death.”

Weighing 255 pounds by the end, Presley struggled with health imbalances exacerbated by the constant use of prescription drugs. Stanley criticized the healthcare system that enabled such practices, saying, “Without Dr. Nick, Elvis might have lived into the 21st century.”
