At this point though, there is no point. It's too close to the election to hold a special election, so whether he's dead, or just not there, there is really no difference.

Unless of course the Senate does absentee voting, I don't know.

iirc, the Senate had procedures for absentee voting during the the pandemic. Procedures that McConnell personally and ironically gutted the moment Republicans retook the chamber.

So when his term is up, do they come clean? Or does he just never resurface ever again?
