I actually was in a car with my sister and saw that ambulance pull into the gates. I’ll never forget that!! When we came back, from the theater in Whitehaven, there where hundreds of people standing outside the gates.

Anybody that puts this much time and effort into investigating the day that Elvis passed away and his past would be proud to call you their friend. Thank you for all of your great videos. I've been a firefighter/paramedic for 37 years and I know their response time would have been just a few minutes. I love your video and I'm glad you had the chance to purchase the ambulance and put it in your museum 👍. I remember that day very well. My mom, dad, two sisters and myself were on I-29 headed north to my aunt and uncle's house in Iowa from Missouri and all they played on the radio was Elvis Presley songs. What a sad day in history. From your document and our medical calls, even if when we show up on a call and we know the the victim is deceased, we cannot make the legally render them deceased. It has to be done by a doctor in a hospital and not in the field. We as E.M.T.s and Paramedics can't make that call.

I was in the U.S Army at Fort Stewart Georgia when i heard the news. Spy Guy Thank You for taking the time to do this video. I saw Elvis twice. Once in 1973 and again in 1976 in Macon Georgia. When Elvis was in Atlanta in the 70"s My Brothers Band (Legend) did the Elvis Show on a Float down Peachtree St. Elvis came out of his room onto the balcony and watched them. He said that they were the only band that ever performed his show in front of him. So Cool.

Im 52 and when they announced that Elvis died on TV that August day i was 9 us old, down in my dads basement in Toledo Ohio with tornadoes touching down less than a half mile from where we were, but the news channel actually interrupted the tornado warning AS THE TORNADO IS ON THE GROUND, to announce them finding Elvis dead on his bathroom floor. I remember it vividly like it was yesterday

Elvis to always called the audience 'friends' in the early years, it was respect and shows he was humble, in person, it was ma'am and sir

I am from Westpoint Mississippi about an hour from Tupelo Mississippi Birthplace of Elvis Presley and Family I remember that day like it was yesterday I was 15 years fixing to start a new school and we heard it on wtva on ch9 from Buddy and Kay Bain that afternoon about 3 pm that afternoon! I was so upset when I heard the news and I just didn't want to believe that he was gone! I grew up on his music and movies as well! I am 60 years old now! I remember the Song dedications to Elvis Presley from Ronnie McDowell The King is Gone! He was the only one that sounded just like Elvis Presley! RIP! Mr Elvis Aaron Presley! You maybe Gone but NOT FORGOTTEN!

It amazes me how someone from a small town with nothing came to be this brilliant talent. He is just as interesting and loved as he was back then. I was fortunate enough to have grown up knowing his music. I loved it then and appreciate it more now than ever.

I was 6 years old at the time. I will never forget making the call to my mother who was at a friends house telling her that Elvis has died. She could hardly drive home, I will never forget that moment as long as I live. I live in Vegas now, every day I wish I could have seen him perform here.

Brings back memories when the news announced Elvis's passing. For me it felt like a member of my family had passed. My world was devastated. Me my mom got as far as Nashville and turned around and came home. Where we usually stayed was at the Howard Johnson's and everything in Memphis was booked because of the Shriner's Convention so we were told. Everything thing was fully booked. All I could do was go home and watch it on TV and cry like a baby. Thank you for reenacting this for the fans.

Memphis born and raised and grew up hearing so many stories. From what I heard, Vernon had a bad heart and when they returned back to Graceland to tell Vernon the sad news, that they went back in an ambulance as they wanted to be prepared should Vernon have a heart attack. So basically they returned to Graceland in ambulance to give Vernon the confirmation

I got to see Elvis Presley in concert on February 19 1977. One of the best concerts I have ever attended. When he passed away in August I was so surprised.

[@Tupelokid11]

The fact that everyone still talks about Elvis means he will never be forgotten TcB

[@elvisjohnson1208]

This is the first time I've seen this. I loved Elvis' singing. He was very respectful and kind. He never forgot where he came from. He truly was from rags to riches. I hope He's resting in peace, he truly deserves it.💝

[@AshantiDfan4life]

It breaks my heart to think of that day. I was not even alive when he died, but that part with the ambulance going past gave me goosebumps. I can’t even imagine the sadness & heartbreak everyone at Graceland was experiencing.

[@patrickperea7591]

As a former 911 Paramedic I do have something to add. When an Ambulance arrives on scene there are certain criteria that you can say the person the is dead and not performing any actions on them. If the person does not follow the guidelines of obvious death ( even though you know they are DOA) you need to get a doctor to say to call the patient as deceased. To do this you would need to call the hospital and get a doctor on the phone which could take time. For me it would take 10 mins, but in 1977 that could be even up to 20 mins. We are taught that for high profile (in my case children because it is a small town but celebrities are in this case) because you can get into legal issues of not performing any actions while awaiting for a doctor you grab them and go to the hospital just like they are alive and let the doctor right away call the death. With the celebrity status of Elvis they would want to try everything even though nothing could be done.

The concept for this video was spot on, Spa Guy. I was 14 years old when we heard the tragic news. Most people posting comments here based on their own theories can well imagine the stories which appeared in print in the hours, days and weeks following the news report of "

I was 8 yrs old when we got the call that Elvis passed away. I cried for days, days and even more days. My Momma told everyone that I was inconsolable. Elvis Presley's death was my 1st heartbreak. 💔

[@marciaholloway6311]

I was 4 years old. Elvis passed away on my Di's ( my granny betty) birthday.. This day made me cry and cry.. Elvis Presley's music was a huge part of my childhood.. And i was crushed..

[@mq12891]

I was working in a restaurant on my birthday when one of my customers came in and told me he had died. Every year I remember what a great loss it was to lose Elvis.

[@seanreid3961]

That day August 16th 1977 was THE saddest day of my life... I remember it like it was just yesterday!
