Tutankhamen dead of knee infection
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1400519.cms
"Egyptian boy Pharaoh King Tutankhamen whose death has intrigued archaeologists, historians and medical experts alike, through three millenniums, seems to have died of infection from a wound in his left knee. Eduard Egarter Vigl, caretaker of Ötzi the Iceman, and Paul Gostner, head of radiology at Bolzano General Hospital, members of the Egyptian-led research team that conducted study on the Pharaoh’s CT scan images said Tutankhamen suffered from a deadly infectious disease in his left knee. Three dimensional examination of the images of the left knee and foot revealed that Tutankhamen’s kneecap as well as his left foot was broken, and the embalming liquid had entered spaces within the knee fracture, a clear sign that the pharaoh was mummified when the wounds were still open."
