Pope Francis leaves hospital after health scare and jokes 'I'm still alive'.

Pope Francis left hospital to return to the Vatican on Saturday (April 1) after being treated for bronchitis, waving to wellwishers and the waiting media as he was driven away.

When asked by reporters how he was feeling, he joked: "I'm still alive".
