The "official" cause of death was due to Heart disease and/or heart attack which also caused the death of his (beloved) mother (i.e. Gladys Love {Smith} Presley) at age 42 and several of her family members ranging in ages from the 30's and 40's.

There is no doubt that Elvis suffered from very real medical, and mental/emotional, conditions which he was prescribed various medications which he; became addicted to and/or abused.

Elvis never recovered from the loss of his mother dying (on August 14, 1958 at the age Elvis believed she was 42 years old but she was really 46 years old) and the deterioration of his marriage along with his deteriorating health/outlook.
