how does death detection work?

just thinking if I died while out of work, potentially nobody would notice, for ages.

so thinking about all the old people who die all the time, how does it get detected that those people have died?

Seems like a solvable problem. Pay monthly fee to a company, they set you up with a bunch of sensors that detect your life (kettle boiling, phone unlocked, etc), when it seems like life has stopped then it can ramp up the actions based on how you configure it, messaging you, then your family, then your doctor, etc. Sound like a viable business?
