That's because the owner cannot get on their and say they're dead when they're... you know, dead. YouTube doesn't keep track of its users enough to let people know via the channel. The people who the channel is given to can do it, but many channels mysteriously die out because nobody knows what happened to the creator. A lot of channels are not taken over by other people, so they never get new content or closure.

If anything, those death videos are for closure. So that the fans can treasure a tribute as they set out to carry on.
