1. How old was King Tut when he died?
Article does not say


2. Does the author suggest any foul play?
Hit on the head and murdered

3. What information did you find concerning his death?
May have not been murdered, but died instead from an infection caused by a broken leg.
May have been murdered in his sleep.


4. Who (if anybody) does the author suggest may have killed him? It could have been Aye, Tutankhamen's vizier who ascended to the throne after his death and married his wife. Or was it Horernhab, the army officer who became king after Aye’s short four-year rule.


5. Who succeeded Tut to the throne? Aye


6. Is this site a reliable source? Explain.
Not really because it had no information on what age he did, when he died and only has a couple sentences on who took the throne after King Tut died so there was really no support. It only told you who could have killed him and why.


7. What other "facts" are included about his death?
Aye and Horemhab might have shared the guilt, working in cahoots to kill the boy.
