The Vatican released a video Monday announcing the death of Pope Francis. He was 88. In the video, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, who will serve as the head of the Vatican until a new pope is appointed, confirmed Pope Francis died Monday morning.

“At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father,” Farrell said.
