what caused king tut's death
King Tutâs untimely death was probably accidental. For years, it was speculated that King Tutâs death at age 19 came courtesy of a blow to the head, inflicted, perhaps, by a murderous rival. More recently, however, experts have determined that the damage to his mummyâs skull occurred after death, either during the embalming process or at the hands of Carterâs crew.
