how did king tut die

King Tutankhamun likely died from a combination of factors including complications from a broken leg and a severe malarial infection. His death at around age 18 or 19 is not definitively attributed to murder, although earlier theories suggested a blow to the head; this has been largely disproven. The broken leg injury, possibly from a chariot accident, showed no signs of healing, indicating it happened shortly before his death. Malaria parasites found in his remains suggest the infection contributed significantly, potentially alongside degenerative bone disease. Overall, it is believed that a combination of his injuries and disease led to his early death around 1324 B.C.
