A
Secretary of the Catholic World Leader, Pope Francis, who was also
pregnant has been found dead right inside her room in Rome.
Miriam Wuolou, the Pope's pregnant receptionist was found dead in her apartment on the outskirts of the city.
Wuolou, a 34-year-old of Eritrean origin, was seven-months pregnant
when her body was discovered. She had worked at Pope Francis' home and a
priests' guesthouse called Santa Marta for years.
The Italian press reports she worked as a kind of gatekeeper for
the Pontiff, as well as for the bishops and cardinals who stay there.
The Pope opted to live at the Santa Marta guesthouse after his
appointment in 2013, rejecting the grand papal apartments because he
found them too sumptuous and he feared isolation.
Ms Wuolou had a serious kind of diabetes which had led doctors to warn her pregnancy was at risk.
Police are investigating a case of neglect and have interviewed
family members, her ex-husband from whom she was separated, and most
recent boyfriend, thought to be a policeman in the Vatican, according to
Rome-based newspaper, il Messaggero.
The first external examination of the corpse showed no signs of violence.
Her brother found the body on Friday after he had not heard from
her for several days. The autopsy has been carried out, and DNA tests
are to be carried out on the foetus.
Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said. "Pope Francis had been informed of the death. We are all pained by this news."
