Answer:

Who replaces the governor if he dies?

In most cases, the lieutenant governor is the highest officer of state after the governor, standing in for that officer when they are absent from the state or temporarily incapacitated. In the event a governor dies, resigns or is removed from office, the lieutenant governor typically becomes governor. but thats not an option so

Overall, the constitutional rules for who comes second in line for the governor's seat are much more complex than that of first in line. Common second-in-lines include:

The President of the Senate (Pro Tempore)

The Speaker of the House

The Secretary of State
