employer died whilst waiting for decision on work permit application.

Good evening everyone,
I have applied for a work permit (around 2 months ago) as a live-in caregiver. While waiting for a decision by the IRCC, the potential employer has died. What do you think should be done now?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Your work permit is tied to your employer.

So unfortunately you'll need to find a new employer and go through the process again.
