The Vatican announces McKenna has died from injuries from his parachute landing, which leads to calls for Sainthood (since the people are not aware that he was the mastermind). Also announced is that Baggia is elected as Pope Luke I. Cardinal Strauss, the Pope's new Camerlengo, gives Langdon the "Diagramma Veritatis" as thanks for his help, and allows him to complete his scholarly work on Galileo and the history of the Illuminati. The new Pope gives Langdon and Vittoria a thankful nod, before stepping out on the balcony to greet the crowd below and give the traditional first blessing as Pope.
