BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Bells tolled in churches in his native Argentina as news spread around the world after the announcement that Pope Francis had died at age 88. He was the first Latin American pontiff and charmed the world with his humble style and concern for the poor.
Associated Press photographers in Buenos Aires, where Francis was born, are capturing the reaction to the pontiff's death.
Cardinals have decided that the public viewing of Pope Francis will begin Wednesday in St. Peter's Basilica, after his casket is taken by procession from the Vatican hotel where he lived.
