Who have become a vice president when the sitting president died in office?

7 Vice Presidents took over and became president, when the
sitting President died in office. The other 7 VPs were elected to
the VP spot, then ran for office of President and won. And 7 Vice
Presidents have themselves died while in office. 14 deaths while in
office, and we've only had approximately 88 total VPs and
Presidents. Those are interesting stats. See source here:
