Billy: Tutankhamun was murdered at the age of 18 years, 3 months and 2 days by Haremhab, his general army commander and Secretary of State. On the one hand, Tutankhamun was maliciously injured (a broken leg), which resulted in a lethal inflammation, blood-poisoning as it would be called today. On the other hand, the actual killing was done by Haremhab by sticking a 27-centimeter (10.63 inch) needle trough the eye into Tutankhamun’s brain.
