Dead Elvis photo may have been destroyed
BOCA RATON, Fla., July 11 (UPI) -- The famous picture of Elvis Presley in his coffin may have been among millions of National Enquirer photos destroyed in a Florida anthrax cleanup.
Anthrax spores were found in October 2001 in the former America Media Inc. building where the National Enquirer kept its photo library.
The anthrax killed one man and sickened another and employees were evacuated so quickly, 4.5 million Enquirer photos were left behind -- including the last known photo of the King of Rock 'n' Roll, the Boca Raton (Fla.) News reported.
Clean up crews fumigated then incinerated 8,600 boxes filled with items that were in the abandoned building, health officials said.
There is still a slight chance the Elvis photo survived.
Building owner David Rustine reportedly has possession of a few of the decontaminated boxes -- but the newspaper could not reach him to find out if any of them belonged to the photo library.

'Elvis' to rock cathedral aisles
BBC / July 12 2006
Ready to rock: Canon Perran Gay and Johnny Cowling
Truro Cathedral is hoping to boost its congregation by enlisting the aid of an Elvis impersonator.
Former choirboy Johnny Cowling - complete with gold lame jacket and quiff - will be rocking in the aisles on 10 August.
The special event, featuring Elvis' gospel songs, follows line dancing and jazz sessions in the cathedral.
Elvis fan, Canon Perran Gay, said the events were "all authentic ways of getting in touch with God".
'An honour'
He added: "We do not expect this will boost regular worshippers, but people come from time to time for special events."
Mr Cowling said: "At first I thought it was a bit of a wind up.
"Then I thought what an honour it would be to perform in Truro Cathedral."
Mr Cowling added that he had previously sung in St Merryn parish church choir.
