It could also be that the company does not have a detailed job description for this opening-if it is a small company, the deceased may have been in the position for a while, and they didn't worry about it-after all, they were happy with the way he did his job, there were other fires to fight, they would get to a detailed position description some other time. Now they are trying to pull together that job description, deal with the shock and grief, and determine if there are components of the job that should be given to someone else or incorporate other duties and responsibilities into the position.
