The causes of the death of the heart failure and a stroke, confirmed the Vatican on Monday (21) in an official statement.
Francisco suffered a brain stroke, entered a coma and had an irreversible cardiocirculatory collapse at 7:35 am, by Rome’s time (2:35 in Brasilia), as indicated by the medical certificate that attested to the Pope’s death.

Also, the medical report shows that the situation of the pontiff was aggravated by bilateral pneumonia, multiple bronchiectasia, hypertension and type II diabetes. The death was confirmed by electrocardiotatographic registration.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis, died at age 88 and less than a month after leaving the hospital, where he was hospitalized to treat bilateral pneumonia.
One day before death, the Argentine appeared in public at the Vatican in an Easter Mass when he made the last greeting to the faithful.

Progressistic
Francisco inherited a deeply divided church after the resignation in 2013 of his predecessor Benedict 16. The difference between conservatives and progressives became an abyss after Francis, an Argentine, was elected the first non-European pope in 1,300 years.
He also appointed almost 80% of cardinal voters who will choose the next Pope, increasing, but not ensuring, the possibility that his successor continues his progressive policies. Some Vatican experts predicted a more moderate and less divisive successor.
