Lord Carnarvon was the financier of Howard Carters expedition to Egypt. The expedition that excavated the tomb of the child king Tutankhamun. While in Egypt, the English Lord was bitten on the cheek by a mosquito. The bite grew infected after Carnarvon knicked it while shaving, and he died of blood poisoning. Stories say that on midnight of the night he died his dog let out a howl and died. Stranger still were stories of a matching wound on the cheek of none other than the recently exhumed boy king Tutankhamun.
