A team from germany believes that tut died as a result of sickle-cell disease,whereas an egyptian team believe he died of malaria.
The egyptian team found necrosis in the bones of  tut's left foot and detected plasmodium falciporum genes.
The german team however believe that tut died from a malaria infection that caused a `sickle-cell crisis' which caused his crucial organs to be starved of oxygen.
