I was curious so I looked at newspapers from France, Spain, Argentina, and Mexico. You had to scroll pretty far down to find an article not about him, his impact, people’s reactions, etc.
It helps that the editors had plenty of warning and it’s a slow news week.

I guess a similar level of fame to Muhammad Ali, although maybe centered around different countries
