The cause of the Pope's death is known

It is noted that a cerebral (brain) stroke led to coma and irreversible heart failure.

The medical document states that Pope Francis suffered from a previous episode of acute respiratory failure due to bilateral multimicrobial pneumonia, multiple bronchiectasis, hypertension, and type II diabetes.

Death was confirmed by an electrocardiogram.

Also, the Pope will be buried not in the Vatican, as is usually the case, but in the Roman Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.

As a reminder, Zelensky mourns Pope Francis, saying "he knew how to give hope".
