Nothing to do with Seti I, that's for certain. His body was discovered elsewhere in the Valley of the Kings in 1881, likely due to grave robbers. But if the Medjai are still at work, then this calls for much more research.

It's purely speculation, but...supposedly Seti was murdered by his high priest, Imhotep, and his mistress, Anck Su-Namun. According to legend, the two were having an affair when she wasn't supposed to be touched by anyone but the Pharaoh himself.
The Medjai would have every reason to pursue the priest. If they did catch him, he would have suffered the worst of punishments.
