David Stanley, stepbrother of the late music icon Elvis Presley, recently alleged in an Amazon Prime documentary titled "Elvis' Women" that the star's death was a deliberate act of suicide. Stanley contends that Presley, overwhelmed by fear of his purported relationships with underage girls being brought to light, chose to end his life.

The 85-year-old Stanley, who was part of Presley's inner circle, asserts in the documentary, "He premeditated taking the medications that killed him. Love, hurt, pain, exposure — he just couldn't take it anymore," as reported by the Irish Mirror.

Stanley was at Graceland, Presley's residence, when the world-renowned musician died in August 1977. His death was attributed to a heart attack resulting from a drug overdose.

The documentary divulged Stanley's disapproval of Presley's supposed predilection for young girls, around 15 or 16 years old. Stanley remarked, "His taste for young girls, aged 15 or 16, made me sick," adding that it was a "miracle" Presley hadn't been apprehended. Stanley stated, "Elvis could talk the socks off [of] you," hinting at Presley's ability to evade issues because of his wealth, fame, charisma, and influence.

Presley's estate has yet to comment on Stanley's allegations.

"Elvis' Women" also features interviews with women who claim to have been objects of Presley's advances when they were teenagers. The documentary takes an in-depth look into Presley's marriage to Priscilla Presley.

Elvis and Priscilla Presley tied the knot in 1967 when he was 32, and she was 21. Their daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, was born the following year. The couple divorced in 1973.

Their relationship will be further scrutinized in Sofia Coppola's forthcoming film, "Priscilla," based on Priscilla's autobiography, "Elvis and Me." However, the Presley estate has expressed dissatisfaction with the upcoming movie, condemning it as "horrible" and comparing it to "a college movie" due to its poor set designs.

Despite the estate's objections, Priscilla herself has shown enthusiasm for the project on her Instagram. "I am excited about the interpretation of my book by the masterful Sofia Coppola," she posted. In response, Coppola expressed her gratitude and excitement to tell Priscilla's story.
