That is a really sucky way to die. Of course due to the lack of modern medicine and such, this seems very likely cause of death back then
Its apparently been discovered that King Tut wasn't murdered (like has been thought for hundreds of years previously) but died from a broken leg, worsened by Malaria. Sounds a little Oregon Trail-ish to me, but completely plausible during that time period.

I find it hard to believe, yet funny if it is true, that it took us this long to find something like this out. =/

If you read the article it says he also suffered from a clubbed door and used a cane even before the broken leg

I had malaria once when I was like three. It's serious business. You get it while you got a broken leg or something and you're in big trouble.
