The court must be notified of the death and a new executor must be appointed. You should speak with the attorney who is handling the estate.

Have a new executor appointed by the court. They will then take over the duties and execute the will. The court can appoint an attorney or bank to serve.

I am named as a co-executor. what happens if co-executor dies?

If a co-executor dies, the surviving co-executor becomes the sole executor. Papers issued by the probate court that state that there are two co-executors have to be changed to show that there is only one now. The procedure to do that is set by each particular court. You also have to see if the will says something different. Sometimes a person wants 2 or more people as executors at all times. That person might appoint coexecutors and provide that in the event of the death of one coexecutor another person shall be added.
