BP1:CE: King Tut Murdered?

According to the article, after further study of King Tutankhamen's remains scientist have a theory of King Tut's death as a murder. This legendary 19 year-old teen King has been thought to have died in a hunting accident. After deep consideration, scientist believe he may have had many physical problems. He was said to have fallen and could not get up. They believe he had fallen victim to Malaria. So King Tut might have died from the bite of a ruthless bunch of mosquitoes.
First I would like to say he has been dead long enough, WHO CARES? I disagree with the article because I don't see how they have so much knowledge from a dead body or corpse. I highly disagree that he would have died from falling and not being able to get up from a mosquito disease. I would much rather believe that he did die from a hunting accident. I like to belive that is more "king like" than falling victim to a mosquito. If he was a king, shouldn't he have received better care?

  1. Interesting take on this. Scientists can discover quite a bit by examining mummies. They can do CAT scans and X-rays to discover clues about what might have happened.
