Pope Pius X Dies in Rome After War Strain
Pope Pius X died in Rome at age 78 after a four day illness tied to bronchial pneumonia following bronchitis and heart weakness stirred by the European war. He sank into coma after a night of oxygen and stimulants, received last rites during a relapse, and passed peacefully in his sleep. His pontificate of eleven years followed a long clerical ascent from Treviso to Mantua Venice and Rome, noted for a conservative, reforming stance and opposition to woman suffrage.
