Pope Francis has been declared dead today Easter Monday, at the age of 88, at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta.
Pope Francis died a day after making a much hoped-for appearance at Saint Peter’s Square on Easter Sunday, the Vatican said in a statement.
“This morning at 7:35 am (0535 GMT) the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father,” said Cardinal Kevin Farrell in the statement published by the Vatican on its Telegram channel.
