According to the Vatican News, Pope Francis' personal doctor, Fabrizio Soccorsi, has died from health complications related to the coronavirus.

The 78-year-old physician, who was being treated for an "oncological pathology," died at Rome's Gemelli Hospital, according to Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano.

Pope Francis named Soccorsi his physician in August 2015, after not renewing the term of papal doctor Patrizio Polisca, who was also head of the Vatican's healthcare services.
