I suspect that this is as a result of a bad translation.

Spanish "la papa" (fem) is potato, whereas "el papa" (más) is pope.

My eye was first drawn to "I died suddenly"...

I guess ephemeral potatoes get eaten immediately, as opposed to the leftovers that turn into bubble and squeak the next day

Well, at least he didn't die of tuberculosis

Perhaps 'potatoes' should have read 'potentates'?
More of an homonym failure than translation...
