Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, died on April 21, 2025, at 7:35 AM CEST at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta, aged 88. The announcement was made by Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Camerlengo, via Vatican Media and a video statement. The cause of death was not officially specified, but Francis had been battling chronic lung disease, exacerbated by a partial lung removal in his youth, and had recently suffered from pneumonia and respiratory crises. In February and March 2025, he spent 38 days in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital for double pneumonia, experiencing four critical respiratory episodes, including a life-threatening incident on February 28 when he inhaled vomit, nearly choking. Despite a brief recovery, allowing him to appear in St. Peter’s Square on Easter Sunday, April 20, his condition deteriorated shortly after. Francis, the first Jesuit and Latin American pope, led the Catholic Church from 2013 to 2025. Known for his progressive stance, he advocated for inclusivity, environmental action, and the marginalized, often clashing with conservative factions. His health struggles, including knee issues and sciatica, required him to use a wheelchair in his later years. He had simplified his funeral rites, requesting a single wooden coffin and burial in St. Mary Major Basilica rather than St. Peter’s. Following his death, the Vatican entered the sede vacante period, with preparations for a conclave to elect his successor expected within 15–20 days.
