-Caveat Lector-
I have not read the Murray work, thank you for the reference. Actually,
I think it is not so much the sacrificed king motif that is prevalent
throughout myth and occult philosophy though, but that of the
resurrected king. We have stories of Arthur waiting until he is needed
again, Barbarossa (sic) is the same. Resurrection cults include the
Osiris cult, Attis, Dionysis, Mithras and Christ (and that's just a
sampling). It isn't the fact that the king dies that is important, it
is the fact that the king is born again. In this way I think that Elvis
is probably much closer to the Divine King in most traditions that I've
seen (like I said, I haven't read the Murray book) than Kennedy is.
(Elvis is still thought by many to be alive and apparently hanging out
at Dunkin Donuts).

Mr. Kinney,
You will find information on "the killing of the divine king" in
Margaret
Alice Murray's THE DIVINE KING IN ENGLAND London: Faber and
Faber, 1954.
You will read that the sacrificial slaughter of a king is an
integral
part of the occult lore of Europe and, interestingly, in the
Native
American civilizations of mesoamerica...
The sacrificial king motif goes back to Egypt to the Osiris-Isis
cult.. Osiris's body is dismembered in order to life to
others...etc.
The myth is embedded in the teachings of a number of secret
societies..
Best wishes,
Wm
