If you're looking to adopt a Wiki from a admin who has been absent and hasn't responded to any of your queries about the status of the wiki, you have to a): contact the Wikia Staff, b): have been an active editor long enough to warrant for admin status or bureaucrat status.

And if a admin of a wiki dies, then I don't see anyone could know unless someone close to the admin logs in on their account and announces it.

Maybe their will be demoted, but I'm guessing that won't happen unless there is someone to step into their role because an admin cannon leave a wiki without someone to look after it as an admin. If they don't maybe one of the Wikia Staff members will look after it until they can find someone who's willing to adopt it and take care of it.
