1. The scientific team who conducted the research, was consisted of radiologists, pathologists, and anatomists under the oversight of the Dean of Medicine at Cairo University. It included three international experts, two from Italy and one from Switzerland. They were permitted to review over 17,000 images.

2. On 8 March, 2005, Cairo announced that the Egyptian team has finished their examination of a non-invasive CT scan of Tutankhamun’s mummy and the General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, states that there is no evidence that the young king was murdered.

3. The scientific team confirmed that King Tut died at about the age of 19 for the following reasons:

QUOTE

a. The fusion of the epiphyseal plates (the parts of the bone that is responsible for growth until a certain age) matches the development of a young man of 18 or more, and 20 or less.
b. All of the cranial sutures are still at least partly open.
c. The wisdom teeth are not completely erupted.

4. In answer to theories that Tutankhamun was murdered, the team found no evidence for a blow to the back of the head, and no other indication of foul play.`

5. Some team members interpret a fracture in the left thighbone as evidence for the possibility that Tutankhamun broke his leg badly just before he died. There is no obvious evidence for healing and the associated skin wound would still have been open which suggest that this fracture would have had to occur a short time, days at the most, before death.

6. My theory is that this was result of accident happened in speady vechicles by an teenager as it is happenining in our modern days of grazy speady cars by teenager.

Well they do mention that the fact he had an open head wound lead to the assumption that he took a blow to the head. Then of course concluded that the mummification process did that to his skull.

However regardless what the evidence shows who knows what really happen, all they know they he died as a teenager. We could only assume that a leg wound and head wound had something to do with it. For all we know he could have just had a straight up heart attack.

remember they do remove the organs, so If they did survive or at least a small part of those organs survive (which I highly doubt) then maybe they could show a bit more how he died.
