Egypt's famed King Tutankhamun suffered from a cleft palate and club foot, likely forcing him to walk with a cane, and died from complications from a broken leg exacerbated by malaria, according to the most extensive study ever of his more than 3,300-year-old mummy.

And there's me thinking that he died of asphyxiation for all these years, I mean if someone
wrapped you up in bandages and locked you into a casket the shape of a chocolate egg
and then locked you into a mummys tomb, and then they try and tell us that he died of a broken leg.

ah c'mon.
