Elvis "lives": a policeman claims that a mysterious photo is a "proof" that the king is alive

A veteran policeman turned dead star rock investigator spoke of a mysterious photo that had convinced him of Elvis Presley 's not dead.

When the King of Rock and Roll died on August 6, 1977, while he was in the restroom from his Memphis home in Graceland, he was only 42 years old.

While his star had considerably faded over several years of excessive drug consumption and heavy consumption which, according to journalist Tony Scherman, had turned it into a "grotesque caricature of his former elegant self and energetic, "his death has proven simply unbelievable to some.

Monte Nicholson, a former employee of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department for 19 years, is one of them.

Shortly after the death of Elvis, the retired policeman was approached by a man who claimed to have worked with the iconic singer.

Speaking of the 1990 documentary Mount Elvis Files describes the meeting of 1977.

"One day he showed up at work and had pictures of Elvis Presley boarding a helicopter that looked like a government helicopter," Monte said.

"There were men surrounding Elvis who also climbed into the helicopter and who looked like what we often see as government agents, with the blazers and the wire in their ear and what does not have them.

"This photo in itself was not particularly suspicious, as it is common knowledge that Elvis himself was involved as an honorary police officer with many police departments throughout the world. the country.

"What is interesting, what is curious about this photo, is that this person claimed that it had been taken several hours after the alleged death of Elvis."

Intrigued by the possibility that Elvis simulated his death, Monte contacted the man and asked him to review the photos.

He denied having them first before changing his mind and asking for money to see the pictures.

Monte organized a meeting with the mysterious contact and arrived at an agreed time and place, only to find an empty property with the man, not where to be seen.

Although neither the man nor the photos have been reviewed, and that his word is the only proof that the photos were taken after the death of Elvis, Monte was inspired to write a book on the meeting.

The Presley Arrangement was published in 1987 and was intended to prove the wild claims that Elvis was still alive.
