If teh Attorne in fact dies, then the power goes to the nxt person named in the appointing document. If no one is named, then there is no longer a POA. In that case, then person(s) willing to perform as attorney-in-fact would have to petition the probate court for an appointment as guardian and/or conservator. Therefore, if the Protectee (person making the appointment of POA) wants to avoid this scenario, they should appoint successor Attorneys in case the first one(s) die are cannot otherise serve.

Good luck
