When a person dies, there is usually an " estate notice " in the newspaper. Basically, it says, anyone who is owed money by the deceased should contact -----whoever is handling the estate.
If the hospital does not hear, then, naturally, they would send it to collections.

sure the collection agency doesn't know the person is deceased, however if someone else other than the deceased signed the person into the hospital they are liable for the bill

Yes, there would be a claim against the estate of the deceased.
It would be pretty disgusting conduct to do this too soon after death, while the family was still grieving, but not illegal.
