On August 16, 1977, he was found dead in the bathroom of his Graceland estate, however, not everyone wants to believe that the superstar really died that day. What do you believe? 

Instead of the musician, it is said that his coffin carried a wax figurine of Elvis. To keep it from melting, an air conditioner was installed inside. At least that's what one popular conspiracy theory claims, but that's far from the wackiest theory.

Elvis Presley is said to be on the moon

Elvis is said to be still safe and sound but living on the moon. According to this theory, his death was also faked. Others say he is not on the moon, instead, he was abducted by aliens. And even that maybe he himself was an alien and faked his death to return home.
