4. Who (if anybody) does the author suggest may have killed him? Doesn’t say

5. Who succeeded Tut to the throne?

6. Is this site a reliable source? Explain. Yes because it gives u a lot of information.

7. What other "facts" are included about his death? Tutankhamun's left leg most likely occurred only days before his death, which had then become gangrenous and led directly to his death. The fracture, in their opinion, was not sustained during the mummification process or as a result of some damage to the mummy as claimed by Howard Carter. The Egyptian scientists also have found no evidence that he had been struck on the head and no other indication that he was murdered, as had been speculated previously. Further investigation of the fracture led to the conclusion that it was severe, most likely caused by a fall from some height — possibly a chariot-riding accident due to the absence of pelvis injuries — and may have been fatal within hours
