Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -King Tut died at age 18 or 19 around 1324 B.C, but there are many theories surrounding how he died. There is a small bone fragment on the inside of his skull that intially led some historians to believe that King Tut was murdered by a blow to the back of his head.

Detailed explanation-2: -King Tut Felled By Injury And Malaria, Not Murder A study from the Journal of the American Medical Association found that Tut died from complications from a broken leg exacerbated by malaria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tut became pharaoh of Egypt in 1332 B.C. at the age of nine. He ruled the country at a time of conflict, when battles over land raged between Egypt and the neighboring kingdom of Nubia. Nearly a decade after coming to power, the young leader died at about 18. But historians didn’t know much about Tut until 1922.
