Mormon church President Hinckley dies at 97
Gordon B. Hinckley, the church's 15th president, died at age 97 in Salt Lake City from complications of old age. His nearly 13-year tenure yielded a surge in temples from 49 to over 120 and membership growth from about 9 million to 13 million. He led with a message of service and faith, defending Mormon distinctiveness while facing scrutiny from major U.S. denominations. His death prompts the ordination of the church’s most senior apostle, Tom S. Monson, per church tradition.
