Silver hammer made sure that he was dead

TIME April 3, 2005:

The Path to a New Pontiff
-- 1--
"The Pope is Dead"...

According to legend, a Cardinal attending a dying Pope would strike the Pontiff three times on the forehead with a small silver hammer, looking for a response. There was to be no hammer when John Paul II died, just a one-word question repeated three times by a Cardinal: "Karol?" The Pope's failure to respond to his baptismal name then allowed that Cardinal, known as the camerlengo, to announce, "The Pope is dead."

Raul, I still haven't seen it yet, though I've heard good things. I have the first trade paperback collection of the series, and thought it moved kind of slow. That was the story about deformed Marv and the dead hooker with a heart of a gold, which I understand is in the film as well.
