London,
July
22
(ANI):
The
embalmer
who
took
care
of
Elvis
Presley"s
body
after
his
death
is
auctioning
off
the
toe
tag
he
put
on
the
King
of
Rock
and
Roll"s
corpse.
The
mortician
worked
at
the
Memphis
funeral
home
where
Elvis" body
was
taken.
He
is
also
selling
off
other
items
used
to
prepare
his
corpse.
The
objects
up
for
sale
in
Chicago
include
rubber
gloves,
forceps,
a
comb,
eye
liner,
lip
brushes
and
arterial
tubes.
The
toe
tag
reads
'John
Doe",
because
a
fan
nicked
the
one
reading
'Elvis
Presley" soon
after
his
death
in
August
1977.
“It"s
a
disgrace.
His
everlasting
memory
should
be
of
his
singing,
not
the
gruesome
and
grubby
items
used
to
clean
up
his
corpse,"
The
Daily
Star
quoted
Elvis"
fan
Stewart
Dalrymple
as
saying.
