Obituaries are always kept up to date for all leaders. I believe "news" organizations have dedicated personnel whose job it is to constantly update them obits. I learned about this when Lizzie's death was imminent.

Johnny Carson said in one of his monologues about how the Soviets did it. "The President has stepped away from his desk." or "The President has a slight cold." After a week, "The President has passed away and Comrade <...> has taken over as General Secretary of the Party."
