When a king dies his heir becomes king (or queen) immediately. He/she succeeds at once - before the coronation. In the past there were a handful of monarchies, such as the Holy Roman Empire, where the successor had to be elected. This created a gap, as the electors had to meet and vote. During the gap (called an interregnum) the viceroy (deputy king) carried out the functions of the king.
