Elvis Presley would have been 90 years old on January 8.

The singer passed away from a heart attack at the age of 42 on August 16, 1977 at his Graceland home in Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis was found by his then 21-year-old fiancée Ginger Alden on the floor of the bathroom in his master suite.

Preliminary autopsy of Elvis said that his case of death was the result of "cardiac arrhythmia," or "an irregular and ineffective [heartbeat]," according to Dr. Jerry Francisco, the Shelby County coroner who conducted a two-hour examination of the body (per The New York Times).

Born in 1935 in Mississippi, his family moved to Memphis, Tennessee, in 1948.

Elvis' singing career started with Sun Records and then his contract was sold to RCA Victor.
