　　After the accident，Murray decided to return to his homeland.On the return journey，two of his companions died mysteriously，and two servants who had handled the mummy also passed away.The now－terrified Murray decided he would get rid of the cursed case as soon as he arrived in London.A lady he knew named Janet Jones said she would like itt a strange disease.She tried returning the mummy，but naturally Murray refused it.In the end，it was presented to the British Museum.

　　Even in the museum，the mummy apparently continued to cause strange events.A museum photographer died shortly after taking pictures of the new exhibit，and a manager also died for no apparent reason.In the end，the British Museum decided to get rid of the mummy too.They sold it to a collector in New York.
