He was 84. • • Bells tolled at the Vatican and across Rome, and Vatican, Italian and European Union flags were being lowered to half-mast across the capital. • • The crowd of 70 thousand people gathered in Saint Peter's Square listened to the bells in silence. Some cried, other kept praying their rosaries. • • The pope died after suffering heart and kidney failure following two hospitalisations in as many months. Just a few hours earlier, the Vatican had said he was in very serious condition but had responded to members of the papal household. • • Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork • Twitter: / ap_archive • Facebook: / aparchives • Instagram: / apnews • • • You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
