Pope Francis Thanked Nurse For Surprise Popemobile Tour Before His Death
“Thanks for bringing me to the square,” Francis told Massimiliano Strappetti, who was providing 24-hour care for the pontiff.
“Thanks for bringing me to the square,” Francis told Massimiliano Strappetti, who was providing 24-hour care for the pontiff, the Vatican’s official news outlet reported on Tuesday.
The pontiff had spent 38 days in hospital earlier this year fighting pneumonia, but he returned to the Vatican almost a month ago and had seemed to be recovering.
There were shouts of “viva il papa” (long live the pope) and the vehicle stopped occasionally so Francis could bless babies brought forward by papal aides.
The rest of the pope’s final Sunday was spent normally, the Vatican’s outlet reported. He had a “peaceful dinner,” it said. The first signs of a “sudden illness” occurred at 5:30 a.m. (0330 GMT) on Monday.
“A little more than an hour later, making a farewell gesture with his hand to Strappetti … the pontiff went into a coma,” said the outlet. “He did not suffer, and it all happened very fast.”
The Vatican outlet said Francis died “having again embraced the people, after a long time”.
