    The singer was found collapsed at his home
    1977: Singing legend Presley is dead

    England have

    Elvis Presley, whose singing and style revolutionized popular music in the 1950s, has died.

    Presley, 42, was discovered slumped in a bathroom at his mansion in Memphis, Tennessee on Tuesday.

    He was rushed to the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis but was pronounced dead on arrival.

    The Tennessee state pathologist, Dr. Jerry Francisco, said a post mortem on the singer's body had revealed he died of cardiac arrhythmia - a form of heart attack.

    "The precise cause has not yet been determined for the cardiac arrhythmia," Dr Francisco said.

    "It may take several days to several weeks to determine that specific cause and in some cases it never is determined."

    The three-hour post mortem uncovered no sign of any other diseases or any drug abuse, Dr Francisco added.

    Presley was divorced from his wife Priscilla in 1973 but it was rumoured that he had recently become engaged to Ginger Alden, 20.

    She was reportedly spotted wearing a $50,000 diamond engagement ring from Presley.

    Ms Alden and other members of his entourage were at Graceland when he collapsed.

    There had been indications of Elvis Presley's declining health for some time.

    Earlier this year the singer had cancelled several performances in Louisiana and returned to Memphis suffering what his doctors termed "exhaustion".

    No arrangements have been announced yet for his funeral which is scheduled for Friday. 

    Princess Diana called Paul Burrell 'my rock'

    2001: Diana butler charged with theft

    Artificially 1969: FilmTheTheAA Paul Burrell, former butler to Diana, Princess of Wales, has been charged with theft from her estate, the Prince of Wales and Prince William.

    The charges relate to a total of 342 items which are said to have been stolen from Kensington Palace, the princess' former London home.

    Mr Burrell, 42, of Farndon, Cheshire, has been on bail since he was arrested on suspicion of theft in January.

    He was charged at West End Central police station in London on Thursday.

    Mr Burrell has denied any impropriety and maintained the items were given to him by Princess Diana.

    His solicitor, Andrew Shaw, read a short statement from the steps of the police station.

    "Paul Burrell denies absolutely the charges that have been preferred against him," Mr Shaw said.

    "He's rightly perceived to be a man of integrity and trusted by the royal family. He says that their trust is justified."

    Among the hundreds of items allegedly stolen from the estate of the Princess of Wales include hats, handbags, and photographs.

    Several CDs and vinyl records were also on the list issued by the Metropolitan police.

    Items allegedly stolen from Prince William include photographs and cards - many from his mother and one from Baywatch star David Hasselhoff.

    Mr Burrell is also alleged to have stolen an Indiana Jones bullwhip and a white metal pepper grinder from the Prince of Wales.

    He will appear at Bow Street magistrates' court on Friday.

    Paul Burrell joined the Wales household in 1986 and became the princess's friend and confidant.

    He was famously referred to by her as "my rock".

    When she was killed in a car crash in August 1997 he flew to France to help prepare her body.

    In September 1997 he was awarded the Royal Victorian Medal by the Queen in recognition of his services.

    Vocabulary:

    integrity: honesty that can be trusted(正直;誠實)
