“He is taking treatment in the hospital.”

However, fresh reports revealed that the thespian is indeed dead.

Speaking on the new development, Rollas explained that he announced the news of Pope being alive due to excitement.

He disclosed that they noticed his fingers were tingling and thought he was still alive.

However, he stated that two hospitals tried to resuscitate him, but they were unsuccessful.
