If you’ve always dreamed of owning something that once touched Elvis Presley’s body, now’s your chance. Autopsy tools that were used to prepare Elvis’ body for the hereafter are being auctioned off in Chicago on August 12th and are expected to sell for up to $8,000.The items include rubber gloves, forceps, needle injectors, an arterial tube and aneurysm hooks.
Also included are lip brushes, a comb, eyeliner and a “John Doe” toe tag which they actually had to use temporarily because someone at the hospital had stolen Elvis’ original toe tag. The auction house says these things were only used once, on Elvis, and then saved by a senior embalmer at the Memphis funeral home where the work was done.
