To stay on topic regarding dead Popes

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/kathyschif ... opes-head/

The role of the camerlengo is a unique one in the Catholic Church. He is administrator of the property and revenues of the Holy See. He has limited power as acting head of state, to keep the government moving forward during an interregnum, the period between two popes.
But more interestingly, when a pope dies in office, it is the camerlengo who makes an official determination of death.
Traditionally, he does this by first calling the pope by name: “Albine, dormisne?” (In English: “[Name], are you sleeping?”)
If he receives no response, he taps a silver hammer three times on the forehead of the deceased pope.
And then, having confirmed that the Holy Father is, indeed, dead, the camerlengo, in the presence of the cardinals, takes possession of the Ring of the Fisherman which the Pope wears, and cuts it in half with shears to prevent its use until a new pope is elected in the conclave.
