King Tut not murdered, says CT scan

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 19.

The wound could have become infected, Egypt's top archaeologist said yesterday.

Zahi Hawass, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, announced the results of the CT scan about two months after it was performed on Tut's mummy.
