New Details on the Death of Pope Francis Revealed

On Holy Saturday, Pope Francis had a conversation with Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin about the conduct of the Easter blessing. During this, the Pope, who had appeared tired for days, fell asleep. When Parolin woke him and asked if Francis wanted to forgo the Easter blessing, he replied: "No, this is important, it will be my last greeting."

Reports of Stroke and Fall of Pope Francis

There are also new details about the morning of Easter Monday, when the Pope died. Initially, it was unofficially reported from the Vatican that the 88-year-old was in good spirits at six o'clock after getting up, then the stroke occurred, and he fell into a coma. Meanwhile, other informed Vatican sources report that the Pope already showed clear symptoms of a new crisis immediately after waking up at 5:30 a.m. Caregivers and doctors intervened immediately. However, he died two hours later.

Some report a fall that led to a large hematoma on the left side of his face. Such a hematoma is also clearly visible on the laid-out body. Whether this fall was the cause or consequence of the stroke, which the official Vatican report on Monday evening also names as the first cause of death, remained uncertain. The fact is, as stated in the official report, that in the end, there was total and irreversible heart and circulatory failure. The time of death was given by the Vatican's medical service as 7:35 a.m. However, Cardinal Dean Giovanni Battista Re mentioned in his letter to cardinals around the world the time of 7:45 a.m. as the time of death.
