What do you know about King Khufu's death?

Dr. dig responds:
We actually know very little about Khufu's death, when he died and how. We do know that he was buried in the Great Pyramid at Giza, but most of the tomb furnishings were robbed long ago. One spectacular find, however, is the Royal ship of Khufu which was made of cedarwood and discovered dismantled inside one of the chambers of the pyramid.
