On April 21, 2025, Pope Francis died at his Vatican City home, the Domus Sanctae Marthae, at the age of 88. According to news sources, his death was a result of health issues stemming from a previous respiratory infection, which were further complicated by a stroke and heart failure. This marked the beginning of the “sede vacante,” the period before a new Pope is elected by the Catholic Church.
