Pope Francis passed away due to a stroke that led to a coma and irreversible cardiocirculatory collapse, as announced by the Vatican. The 88-year-old pontiff struggled with multiple health issues, including pneumonia affecting both lungs, type-2 diabetes, and hypertension. His health had deteriorated over more than two months, involving repeated hospitalizations and episodes of respiratory insufficiency, necessitating supplemental oxygen and blood transfusion during a prolonged hospital stay that began with bronchitis in mid-February.
In addition to the cerebral stroke, the 88-year-old pope was suffering from pneumonia in both lungs, which caused episodes of respiratory insufficiency.
Dr. Andrea Arcangeli detailed Pope Francis's health struggles, noting his type-2 diabetes and hypertension alongside his notable respiratory issues.
