Pope died of stroke
Pope Francis has died of a stroke and subsequent irreversible cardiovascular failure. This can be seen from the death certificate issued by the head of the Vatican Health Services, Professor Andrea Arcangeli. The death was determined by a specific electrocardiographic examination.
Hirschlag, coma, irreversible cardiovascular failure: these are the causes of the death of Pope Francis, who died this morning at 7:35 a.m. in his apartment in Casa Santa Marta. This was certified by the head of the Vatican Health Services, Professor Andrea Arcangeli, on his death certificate, as the press office of the Holy See announced in the evening.

The medical document certifies that Pope Francis had previously suffered from acute respiratory failure in bilateral multimicrobial pneumonia, multiple bronchiectasis, hypertension and type II diabetes.

The cause of death was determined on the basis of the specific mortality examination called "electrocardionatography". "I declare," Arcangeli writes, "that these are the stated causes of death, to the best of my conscience and knowledge."
