A fracture to Tutankhamun's left thighbone was interpreted as evidence that the pharaoh badly broke his leg before he died and his leg became severely infected
2005 conclusion by a team of Egyptian scientists, based on the CT scan findings, confirmed that Tutankhamun died of gangrene after breaking his leg. this injury could have been the result of a fall from his chariot or a hunting accident

The latest findings are leaning towards a hunting accident rather than murder.

CAIRO, Egypt - The results of a CT scan done on King Tut’s mummy indicate the boy king was not murdered, but may have suffered a badly broken leg shortly before his death at age 19 — a wound that could have become infected, Egypt’s top archaeologist said Tuesday.

i heard my history professor say that he fell off a chariot and died from that. I actually think that's highly likely because he was only 19....think of regular teenagers

He had a broken leg so it is possible he died from an infection

Nobody is quite sure, and this has been the subject of debate by many specialists. A hunting accident is another possibility.
