In most countries (I expect the state of Ohio would be the same) the debts of a deceased person are normally payed from that person's estate and would be settled by the executor of the estate as part of obtaining probate for the estate. If you are worried (and the estate has an executor) speak to the executor, otherwise seek advice from an attorney if the hospital is coming after you for the money.
