Answer:

Evidence: Walking impairment and malarial disease sustained by Tutankhamun is supported by the discovery of canes and an afterlife pharmacy in his tomb," the authors said. They added that a sudden leg fracture, possibly from a fall, might have resulted in a life-threatening condition when a malaria infection occurred.

Causes of death: Scientists claim King Tutankhamun's died in a chariot accident. ... He added that the young royal's death was most likely caused from his being in a weakened state as a result of genetic impairments inherited from his brother and sister parents.
