  1. The article links to the main page of the department of medicine at Cairo University, but does not cite any actual sources.
  2. The cause of death is claimed to be Malaria.
  3. The article is two weeks old.
  4. The site publishing it is not in Egypt.
  5. I could not find any reference to either malaria or tutankhamun on the linked website.

Seems to me that a grain of salt should be applied when considering its content.

It’s a day older, still no external references and still not from either Egyptian or German sources.
