Pope Francis didn’t suffer before he died, his doctor says

Pope Francis peacefully passed away after suffering a massive stroke early Monday, his severe condition rendering him unresponsive. His doctor advised against hospitalization due to potential inability to survive the trip. Surgeon Sergio Alfieri treated him during his stay and found him in comatose state without response, aligning with his end-of-life directive. Despite extensive medical care, Francis' declining condition led to his death shortly after Alfieri's examination. Before his release on March 23, Francis remained well and focused on his work, culminating in an Easter message emphasizing peace, reflecting his final communication with his congregation.
