How do they account for his club foot, necrosis of the bones and canes that show use?
Its very hard to ride a chariot on one leg as was shown in a couple shows.

They say it was a chariot that did him in. Maybe his club foot was ultimately his downfall on that fateful chariot ride when he fell off it.

May he was using his foot as a weapon.

I've seen a show that says that he died in a chariot accident/battle.....but they are assuming that he is young and athletic. Instead of being an inbred teen with gynoclomastia, club foot and necrosis of the bone that requires the use of canes which is shown by materials found in his tomb and in the recent forensic investigation.

How do you think King Tut died ? This is an older scientific theory.

But then there is this one .

There was evidence of a severe fracture above one of his knees which may have been compound. I find it likely that it became infected and in his poor health it killed him.

How do you think he got the fracture was it self caused or maybe someone trying to get rid of him without raising suspicions ? He had a bad run of luck didn't he ascending the throne with the spectre of dead heretic Akhenaten over him , he lost 2 babies stillborn , then he lost his life and left his young Queen Ankhesenamun to marry a 60 year old Vizier Aye , not a very good run.

Did you ever know anyone who broke their leg falling down stairs?.....bear in mind accident do happen especially when people aren't exactly sure on their feet.
It does appear he had it rough......his best luck came the summer after he died when a flash flood hid his tomb.

Not sure he would have been impressed by his makeshift tomb ? But then dying on them like he did left them little choice. Talk of Aye murdering all sorts of people to gain the throne would lead to speculation that he did indeed stand to prosper from King Tuts demise . It is often suggested that he murdered Tutankhamun, but there is no firm evidence proving that the Tuts death was murder. Some have even suggested that he was responsible for the deaths of Nefertiti, Smenkare and Tutankhamun's two infant children - but there is even less evidence to support these allegations.

The alleged head was caused during mummification......but as likely as I find it that tut fell on his own I suppose he could have been pushed. However, that is just guessing.

Yes the mummification was definitely a poor job. To many unguents.

It appears to have been rushed......not sure what an "unguent" is though.

Used in the libations they treated his body with after he had died . They did much to strong a mix and it burned his flesh badly.
