Images of the coffin containing the body of Pope Francis at Casa Santa Marta have been released by the Vatican.
The pictures and video, taken on Easter Monday, and released this morning, show the body of the 88-year-old pontiff, hours after his death, during the rite of the Confirmation of the Death of the Pontiff.
Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, who will oversee the Holy See until a new pope is elected, can be seen blessing the body of Pope Francis.
The Vatican revealed on Monday evening that Pope Francis died after suffering a stroke followed by heart failure.
