How would you find out if someone died this year?

Probably only by looking for a funeral notice in the local paper.

If a will has gone to probate it would be here:

You can look at the most recent GRO death indexes on microfiche at one of the designated libraries, which should be complete up to the last quarter (Apr-Jun at the moment) , or you contact the registration offices in the areas they are most likely to have died.

Have you googled their name? That sometimes brings up a newspaper obituary site which you have to go through to find the precise entry. (I've used that method to locate recent dates of deaths.)

I usually Google their name followed by obituary.
