I keep getting stuck on "unexpected", are there expected copilot deaths?

They should have taken a page out of "Weekend at Bernie's", strapped the late co-pilot into his seat and flown. <sarcasm off>
None for our flight when the pilot got ill. Guess death is less dramatic?
They’re all heart.
Surely airlines should have insurance for this and other eventualities?
