Not sure there's much to choose from at this level of drug use. He'd twice put himself into comas and his handlers had him on a very specific regime to prevent another. But then that kind of abuse can't be sustained forever and by the end, Elvis was apparently barely functioning. I think the official cause of death was 'heart failure', probably accurate but skirting the issue of the heroic amounts of drugs he ingested daily.
We'll probably never know the truth. I don't remember anyone even hinting that there was a suicide note despite the cottage industry of books about his death.
