If the attorney-in-fact dies their powers don't need to be revoked. They can no longer exercise those powers. If the principal wants to continue having an AIF they can draft a new POA and provide copies to any entity where it might be used. A statement could be added to the new POA document informing them that the former AIF (name + date of appointment + date of death) has died. If no new AIF will be appointed then notice of the death of the AIF could be sent to any entity where the POA had been exercised such as banks, investment firms, etc.

If the attorney-in-fact under a POA dies, their power doesn't pass to anyone else. The principal must execute a new POA naming a new attorney-in-fact.

What should you do if an agent does not show proof of Power of Attorney?

If an agent cannot provide proof of their authority then you should NOT accept their signature on any legal document. They have no authority until they can PROVE that they do. When an attorney-in-fact signs a document on behalf of the principal they should not only provide the POA document but also an Affidavit stating they are the AIF, the principal has not died and the POA has not been revoked.
