5. Who succeeded Tut to the throne?

6. Is this site a reliable source? Explain.
Who Killed King Tut? By The Government of Egypt Edited by Jimmy Dunn. Yes, it was written by one group of people who have research and sources.

7. What other "facts" are included about his death?
A very recent medical examination of the remains of King Tutankhamen suggest that he may have not been murdered, but died instead from an infection caused by a broken leg. A new X-ray analysis cast more light on the subject, this time suggesting that Tutankhamen may have been murdered in his sleep. "The blow was to a protected area at the back of the head which you don't injure in an accident, someone had to sneak up from behind.” Scientists suggest that the king was most probably hit on the back of his head while asleep and that he lingered, maybe for as long as two months, before he died.
