He had abnormalities in the thin bones above his eye sockets, which were the kind of fractures that occur when the head hits the ground during a backward fall and the brain is thrown forward. But, there is also the possibility that a lethal blow was taken to the back of his head. There was a sliver of bone floating in the brain, and a dense spot at the base of his skull, which suggests a blood clot. The areas of King Tut's injuries and where his malformations were, makes murder seem obvious. .
The first suspect of murder is the kingdoms commander in chief, Horemheb. Horemheb had spent a lot of time with Tut during his life, teaching him how to hunt, drive chariots, and more. Because of all of the time spent with Tutankhamen, Horemheb was able to pick up a lot of information on Tut, and Tut trusted Horemheb. The activities that they did together constantly made Horemheb aware of Tut's Klippel-Feil syndrome. These activities also made it easy to plot an "accidental" murder. When scientists found Tut's body, they did notice that his bandages were sealed together with his unguents. This makes it believable that Horemheb killed Tut on the road and brought his body back slightly decomposed, and used the extra unguents on the bandages. But, Horemheb needed a motive for killing Tut. The only motive that researchers were able to come up with was that Horemheb wanted to assume Tut's throne himself, which would have been easy with Horemheb's army behind him. It is possible that as Tut got older, he started making his own decisions in the government, and Horemheb felt threatened and disagreed with some of Tut's decisions. But, if this was so, then Horemheb wouldn't have stopped with Tut's murder. He could have, and would have assumed the throne, but he did not. He kept his position as army chief. Greg Cooper, a former FBI profiler and chief of police in Provo, Utah quotes, "If Horemheb wanted the Pharaohship, he could have taken it.
