Pope Benedict died. I remember when he became pope he was a bit controversial (they all are, of course, to someone, but a bit more controversial than that) and the "word" was that oh no big deal he's sick he'll die soon anyway so don't worry about it. Then he resigned for reasons never quite clearly explained in 2013 (yes everyone can tell you why, but not *really* why) and lived to be 95.
