When a Prophet dies, the senior member of the Quorum of the Twelve is sustained by unanimous vote. The senior member is the one who has been in the Quorum the longest, not the oldest. If a member is not foreordained to be the Prophet, the Lord will bring him back to Him; in other words, he will take him from this earth. But this is not bad; he is only bringing the member back to Him sooner.
