The Picture of Health

As soon as the scanning was done, the resulting images revealed an important clue about the pharaoh's death: His skull was intact, putting to rest a popular theory that a blow to the back of his head killed him. In the weeks following the scan, experts from Egypt and Europe scrutinized Tut from every angle by computer. They concluded that he was a normal, healthy, well-fed young man who was about 19 when he died. Although some on the team thought he had broken his left leg just above the knee, which might have led to a deadly infection, they couldn't be sure. So what—or who—killed King Tut remains an unsolved mystery, at least until further study.
