Pope Francis has died, the Vatican says

Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has died, the Vatican said in a video statement on Monday, ending an often turbulent reign marked by division and tension as he sought to overhaul the hidebound institution.
He was 88, and had suffered various ailments in his 12 year papacy.

Pope Francis had a private meeting with US Vice President J.D. Vance the day before. The Pope then attended the Easter Mass and greeted people in St. Peter's Square.
