Pregnant secretary of Pope Francis found dead in her room in Rome

Miriam Wuolou, a 34-year-old Eritrean who was the secretary of Pope Francis was found dead in her apartment. She was seven-months pregnant when her body was discovered.

She had worked at Pope Francis home and guesthouse called Santa Marta for years.

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.
The autopsy of the corpse showed no sign 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 would be carried out on the foetus.
Spokesman for the Vatican, Father Federico Lombardi said. "Pope Francis had been informed of the death. We are all pained by this news."
