How Did Lord Carnarvon Die in Egypt in 1923?

Lord George Carnarvon the famous discoverer of Tutankhamun ( with his side kick Howard Carter) died in a room in a quaint foreign hotel, not a hospital, that was too risky to use. The event at the Continental Hotel in Cairo on 5 April 1923 itself has gained iconic status: it is a death scene as well known by the layman and the schoolboy as the crucifixion of Christ. For almost one hundred years the story of a bite by a mosquito has been wrongly given and accepted as the cause of the Earl's death and the history of the co-discoverer of the Tomb of the boy King Tutankhamun misrepresented. How then did Lord Carnarvon die? William Cross, author of six books on the Carnarvon's of Highclere Castle reveals the truth.
