Pope died in his apartment at the Saint Martha residence – Vatican
Pope Francis died at home in his apartment at the Saint Martha residence in the Vatican, the Holy See’s press service says.
His cause of death will “probably” be shared with the public on Monday night following the official declaration of his death, scheduled for 8 p.m. (1800 GMT), the press service adds.
“The transfer of the body of the Holy Father to the Vatican Basilica for the homage of all the faithful could take place on Wednesday morning,” the Vatican says.
