The fractures in the skull and his death at an early age have fueled many theories about his death. The two main theories are Tutankhamen was murdered or he died of natural causes. The oldest of these theories is he was murdered by one of his subjects. This theory is due in large part to the fracture found on his skull. Bob Brier, an Egyptologist from Long Island University, presents the theory that Ay, one of Tutankhamen’s advisors, murdered Tutankhamen to usurp the throne (King Tut One.com, 2013).

Being that he was so young he only ruled for a short period of time and died at the age of eight-teen. Howard Carter excavated King Tut tomb in 1922 (Lovgren, 2006). Scientist is very curious and fascinated with the mystery behind the death of the famous Pharaoh in history. The scientists now have looked at King Tut corpse to try to figure out if he died because he was murdered or from an injury.
According to the Archeologist who uncovered the body their educated guess became much more than estimation after noticing two major abnormalities in the skeleton. For one King Richard’s notable curved spine was apparent in the remains, also the late king was killed by massive head trauma from Henry Tudor’s sword or shield, and there were notable skull fractures on the uncovered skeleton as according to the archeologist report. After tracking down one of Richard’s sister’s known living descendants, DNA results concluded that the remains did in fact belong to the infamous King Richard the

When James L. Swanson published “Manhunt” in 2006, it was a much more serious matter with the same principle. John Wilkes Booth had killed our president Abraham Lincoln, and nearly everyone in America was searching for him. It was the greatest manhunt in American history. Swanson gives a very detailed narrative of how the 12-day chase for Lincoln’s killer went.
She had two older sisters, who would have been next in line to the throne, so she murdered them to secure her place as Pharaoh. Pharaohs were meant to be men, so she wore a fake beard. She then married her half-brother, who ruled with her, but then he died. Then she became Caesar's girlfriend, but he said she should marry her other brother to help the people of Egypt. She then had a child with Caesar, and hoped that he'd be next in line for the throne.

As time goes on, I believe more theories will arise. From everything that I have learned about King Tut’s death, I believe that he had died from a sickness of some sort. For one, he had a broken thigh bone. If he were murdered I think they would have found some evidence that someone created damage to his body. For second, his death was very sudden.
You’ve heard the name King Tut before but did you know he had malaria and had a bone disorder? Well DNA doesn’t lie. DNA show's that he had a congenital clubfoot caused by bone disease, which would have made it very difficult to walk. Inbreeding may have caused the deformity and may have prevented him from producing an heir with his wife who is thought to be his half sister. King Tut was king of Egypt for approximately four years so why do people consider him so important?
The most famous of the murders was committed on August 9 and 10, 1969. They were known as the “Tate-LaBianca murders”. Manson incited his Family members to murder Abigail Folger, the coffee magnate, pregnant actress Sharon Tate, and three other victims in the home of Hollywood film director Roman Polanski. They murderers left political clues such as “Piggy”, “Rise”, and “Helter Skelter” smeared on the walls in the victims’ blood and an American flag draped over the couch. “Manson and the Family were hoping to place blame away from their mission of salvation-through-murder” and the following night the Family members killed prominent businessman Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary in the same fashion in their home (Charles Manson 2).
