Fox News has just announced that Pope John Paul II has died at the age of 84.

Update: (10:58AM PST)
The Vatican is denying that the pope has died, but there is no doubt he is very close to death. The Vatican says the popes brain and heart are still functioning.

Dan, all the reports I am reading and am getting from Italy indicate that Pope John Paul II is very ill and dying(as of this minute), but not dead. Sources, including online media, indicate that there is no hope of recovery.
