  When a WordPress.com site owner passes away we like to help the family or estate determine what happens with their loved one’s WordPress.com site. To notify WordPress.com about a deceased site owner, please email us at help@wordpress.com and include the site owner’s name or e-mail address for the account (if known), the URL/site address, a brief explanation of the situation, and the desired act

  And if you’re not sure whether it’s hosted here, could you share a link to the site so we can confirm? We’ll check it out and point you in the right direction for support.
