| The Vatican said the pope suffered heart failure and had received the last rites, sacraments given to those close to death. |
| Amongst the carnage and confusion, members of the clergy delivered the last rites to the dead. |
| He fell ill, so deathly ill, that the doctors gave him up for lost, and the mullahs prepared to give him the last rites. |
| After receiving the last rites of the church, he died at three o'clock in the afternoon in his wife's arms, aged sixty-eight. |
| Women were only useful for establishing a bloodline that could carry on the family name and give the proper last rites to the husband. |
| His fate seemed sealed when aides administered the Sacrament of Anointing, or last rites, on Thursday. |
