On August 12th, a few days before the 33rd anniversary of Elvis' Presley's death, Leslie Hindman Auctioneers will hold a public auction.
The AP reports, "Instruments used in Elvis Presley's autopsy and embalming are going up for auction in Chicago, including the "John Doe" toe tag used after the original was stolen amid the chaos at the hospital following his death. All of the items used in the autopsy and funeral preparations will be available, from rubber gloves and forceps to a comb and eye liner. Even the coffin invoice and the hanger used to hold Presley's burial suit will be sold. The items were saved by the senior embalmer at the Memphis Funeral Home, which prepared the singer's body."
Doesn't it sound ghoulish?
Well, I suspect there will be public interest. There are some people who want their piece of Elvis, even if it's the last comb that combed his hair.
