According to the National Archives, it seems like succession might not necessarily apply and would likely be argued over by lawyers should he die before the Electoral College meets. I’ll paste their text below, and I pasted the link in a separate answer
What happens if a candidate dies or becomes incapacitated?
There is no Federally-required process to follow if a candidate who is projected to receive electoral votes dies or becomes incapacitated between the general election and the meeting of electors. However, individual States may have their own requirements that govern how electors must vote at the meeting of the electors. In 1872, when Horace Greeley passed away between Election Day and the meeting of electors, the electors who were slated to vote for Greeley voted for various candidates, including Greeley. The votes cast for Greeley were not counted due to a House resolution passed regarding the matter. See the full Electoral College vote counts for President and Vice President in the 1872 election.
We don’t know what would happen if a candidate who, dies after or becomes incapacitated between the meeting of electors and the counting of electoral votes in Congress.
The Constitution is silent on whether this candidate meets the definition of “President elect” or “Vice President elect.” If the candidate with a majority of the electoral votes is considered “President elect” before the counting of electoral votes in Congress, §3 of the 20th Amendment applies. That section states that the Vice President elect will become President if the President-elect dies or becomes incapacitated.
If a winning Presidential candidate dies or becomes incapacitated between the counting of electoral votes in the Congress and the inauguration, the Vice President-elect becomes President, according to §3 of the 20th Amendment.

Strangely, it sort of depends on when. If he dies before the EC meets, it’s up for lawyers to argue from my reading of the text.

Hang on, the features are not necessarily locked behind the paywall, however the screenshots I found were certainly behind the paywall. I don’t think you gave this a fair look at all, and I’m encouraging to give it a second pass before you write it off entirely.
Try this instead. it’s how I found them initially and this was all free. Start out in Peru in the year 200ad.
I started there myself to learn about the Chavin civilization and what they were doing around that time. And when I was done reading, I noticed in the top right corner I could zoom out from Peru and look at all of the Americas. And further, I could zoom out to look at the world. That’s still all on 200ad, and it’s still all gratis. But wait, go back to the Peru page you started on and now click the arrow to go back in time a few times and check out the green area that the early people were inhabiting as it shrinks. Still free. And still, you can zoom out from Peru and look at the continental or global views, and move around to different parts of the world.
Go to their Atlas page. Literally the entire left side of that page is free content.

Another way to think of it: This time lapse takes you from the dawn of farming all the way through the dawn of writing. It just seems so cool to me.
