(ANSA) - Vatican City, July 19 - Pope Francis phoned the mother of Vincent Lambert before the July 11 death of the French former nurse left in a vegetative state by a car crash 11 years ago to voice his sympathies with her, interim Vatican press office head Alessandro Gisotti said Friday.
Lambert was taken off life support by court order in a move supported by his partner but opposed by his parents and the Catholic Church in a right-to-die tussle.
