Illinois -- A suburban priest accused of sexual abuse was found with severe head trauma on the floor of a church Wednesday after apparently jumping from a balcony in an attempt to take his own life.

The Rev. Alejandro Flores was removed of his priestly faculties and placed on administrative leave two days earlier by Bishop J. Peter Sartain, who had received information from a family that their 13-year-old son had reported being abused by Flores.

Flores was found on the floor of the former St. Mary's Carmelite Church, at 113 N. Ottawa St., in Joliet, after not being seen for several hours.
