King may have died from a blow to the back of his head.

Bob Brier, an American Egyptologist, believes that Tutankhamen was indeed murdered, and claims he knows by whom. "It was either by his own personal attendant or by his cup-bearer.
4. Who (if anybody) does the author suggest may have killed him?
Aye, Horernhab
5. Who succeeded Tut to the throne?
Aye
6. Is this site a reliable source? Explain.
No because you don’t have solid evidence

7. What other "facts" are included about his death?
Was it 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?
