Elvis Presley died at his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee. On August 16, 1977, he was found unresponsive on the bathroom floor of the master suite by his girlfriend Ginger Alden. He was immediately rushed to the Baptist Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:30 p.m. The official cause of death was reported as cardiac arrest due to cardiac arrhythmia, although there has been ongoing debate about the role of prescription drug use in his demise. Despite the controversy, the medical examiner attributed his death primarily to heart disease. Graceland, his home, remains a significant site for fans around the world.
