Now that is one cold case


National Geographic reports that King Tut died of a broken leg, not murder: "A CT scan of King Tutankhamun's mummy has disproved a popular theory that the Egyptian pharaoh was murdered by a blow to the head more than 3,300 years ago."

Regarding King Tut, a countervailing medical theory arose in the late 1970s that "he gave his life for tourism."

Also, I heard he ate a crocodile. That can't be good for the digestive system.
