Pope Francis's body lies in state at St. Peter’s Basilica ahead of his funeral: Live updates

The body of Pope Francis was transferred on Wednesday to St. Peter’s Basilica, where it will lie in state for public viewing until his funeral on Saturday.

Thousands of mourners lined up outside for a chance to pay their last respects to Francis, who died on Monday at the age of 88. The cause of death was a stroke that led to a coma and irreversible heart failure, the Vatican’s top doctor said.

Earlier Wednesday, Francis’s open casket was taken in a solemn procession from a chapel in his residence to the basilica, where he made his last public appearance on Easter Sunday. Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the camerlengo who is leading the Vatican until a new pope is chosen, presided over a ceremony of farewell.
