The debt is thrown out as if it never existed, it does not under any circumstances get passed on to any relatives or significant others.

Unless the federal rules allow for a write of of the debt, then the estate [if there is one] would be held liable for repayment of the debt. I agree with answer 1 in that the debt will not pass to relatives or a significant other, UNLESS one of those persons was a co-signer on the loan.
