The Trustee of the Trust is responsible for paying the debt out of the trust funds.

No. The trust specifies what happens if the beneficiaries are no longer living. It could go to the beneficiaries' estates, or a remainder man, or to a charity. It is possible for the person who set up the trust to leave it to the trustee.
What happens when someone dies with a house titled to a trust and with a mortgage?
The decedent didn't own the property if it was transferred to a trust. The property is owned by the trust and is managed by the trustee. You need to review the terms of the trust to determine how the property will be handled or distributed. If you still have questions you need to consult with an attorney who can review the trust and explain your options.

Trust deed leaves property to 4 adult children Both parents have now passed away If one of four dies who would receive their share?
A trust deed conveys property to a trustee who then holds title to the property according to the provisions of the trust. You need to examine the provisions of the trust document to determine who the beneficiaries are. If the house is the only property in the trust you need to read the actual trust document to determine who the beneficiaries are as recited in the trust document. That trust document controls what the trustee may do with the property and who will inherit a deceased beneficiary's interest. If the trust doesn't mention what will happen if one of the siblings dies then perhaps the trust gives the power to the trustee to convey the property by a deed TO the four siblings. You could then decide how it will be held by the four of you. If the trust states the property should ge distributed to the four children upon the death of the parents then the trustee can convey the property to the four children by deed. If that deed recites that the grantees will hold the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and one dies, her share will pass to the remaining siblings. If that deed recites that the grantees shall hold as tenants in common and one dies, her share goes to HER heirs. Therefore, if you get a deed from the trustee passing title to you then you can decide for yourselves how title will be held. If the trust doesn't give the trustee the power to sell then the trust will need to be modified by judge so the property can be conveyed to the heirs. In any case, you should seek legal advice from a probate/real estate attorney to straighten this matter out for you. This situation is subject to your own state laws.

If a trustee who is also one of 7 other beneficiaries of the trust dies before any trust assets are distributed what happens to the part of the trust that was to go to the trustee this is in Calif?
You need to review the trust document for the answer to your question. It should contain a provision for distribution of the share of a deceased beneficiary. If the trustee has died a new trustee needs to be appointed to make the distribution. The trust document should also have provisions for the appointment of a successor trustee.
Does the trust end or must a new trustee be appointed if there are two trustees one of them also being the beneficiary and the other one dies?
You need to review the terms of the trust to determine how a new trustee must/can be appointed. A beneficiary/trustee invalidates a trust in many jurisdictions and may make the trust property vulnerable to creditors. You should contact the attorney who drafted the trust.
What happens when the benefiary of a trust dies?
A properly drafted trust has provisions for the distribution of the trust property upon the death of the beneficiary.
If a trust is divided upon death of trustee and split into 3 separate trusts and one of the 3 new trustees has already died what happens to that trust?
It depends upon the terms of the trust and the state law governing the trust. The trust document may explicitly say what happens when a trustee dies (or cannot server). For example, a specific individual may be named as a successor trustee, or a corporate trustee, or perhaps the current beneficaries may by majority vote appoint a new trustee. Failing that the appropriate court could appoint a successor trustee. But you should seek legal counsel.
