Tutankhamun broke his leg in a hunting accident. That same hunting accident might also have caused the skull fracture that was discovered. During an x-ray of the mummy in 1968, scientists found bone fragments in Tut's skull, prompting a theory that the boy king had been bludgeoned to death.
Others believe King Tut broke his leg as the result of a disease, with diseases like temporal lobe epilepsy, a combination of malaria and leimyoma or even polio being named as the potential killer.
According to National Geographic (December 2006) a new CT scan of King Tutankhamen's mummy "showed a thin coating of embalming resin around the leg break, suggesting that Tut broke his leg just before he died and that his death may have been the result from an infection or other complications.
He most likely died from a broken leg which became infected. After all these years, it's unlikely we'll be able to establish the cause of death with 100% certainty.

Historians are not real sure how he died. An accident, murder, and war has been considered. His body shows that an event did happen. Some historians believe he was in an chariot accident, but whatever the reason it happened very fast and suddenly. His tomb wasn't ready so they he put him in a tomb that was ready. The doorway to his tomb was buried by the construction of another tomb and wasn't found until Howard Carter found it in the 1920's.
