Is Elvis actually still alive?

By Robert Fontenot, About.com

Question: Is Elvis actually still alive?
Answer: In the years since his death, hundreds of fans have reported seeing a living Elvis Presley in small towns across the USA and the world. The "mystery" behind Elvis' death is further heightened by the misspelling of his name on the tombstone at Graceland: his middle name at birth, Aron, is instead spelled "Aaron." However, Elvis had it legally changed to "Aaron" before death, considering it to be more "Biblical."

In addition, there are several eyewitnesses to Presley's death and burial, including family members, morticians, mortuary workers, and hospital staff. To date there is not one shred of evidence of a living Elvis; the singer's heart and brain, removed during the autopsy, are still in storage at Baptist Medical Center in Memphis.
