Following Pope Francis’ death, a period of mourning will take place, and then a centuries-old, secretive process known as a conclave.

Pope Francis, the trailblazing Roman Catholic pontiff who advocated a more compassionate papacy and a less traditionalist approach than his predecessor, has died, the Vatican said, hours after making his final public appearance Easter Sunday at St. Peter’s Square.

Police said the incident occurred at approximately 9:30 a.m. Sunday in the 2200 block of E. 100 St.

The watch includes LaSalle, Grundy and Kankakee counties.
