May he rest in peace.
He has gone to a better place.

There is NO CONFIRMATION of this. Only Italian Media is reporting this first hand.

"Unconfirmed reports from the Italian media say Pope John Paul II has died. U.S. news agencies are working to confirm."

CNN is covering it LIVE right now!!!!
Not that it means anything as far as confimration but I believe them before fox....

The pope is still alive!! (1:46 EST)

FOX just said that the Vatican says the Pope's brain and heart are still functioning...

WE have heard he has passed awaiting offical word

The Vatican is denying reports that JPII has died.

Every network I have checked still lists his condition as grave. One also stated there was one unconfirmed report of the death.

Perhaps this is similar to the Terrir died story posted by CBS yesterday early in the day yet turned out to be sent out by accident

ITALIAN MEDIA SAYS POPE'S ELECTROCARDIOGRAM HAS GONE FLAT, NO IMMEDIATE VATICAN COMMENT. I am now hearing that there are some vital signs of brain activity but now word yet

You might want to use a source more reliable than Matt Drudge.

I Saw it on cnn international. But i think Italian news just retracted their statement

I think it's clear that the Pope is NOT dead yet.

THE POPE IS NOT DEAD....
the italian media just tripped over the plug...
CNN still has nothing...

You know how news agencies are. Everyone wants to be first so CNN ran with an unsubstantiated report that he had died so they could be the ones that broke the story to the world. CNN sucks.

Actually...

Italian media were the first to report that JPII had died. It was expected that this is how the news would be broken.
