Deaths during production can be a sad thing. When a famous author dies and they leave only partly-completed works, never to be finished or seen by the general public.
Or will they?
A Posthumous Collaboration is when an unfinished work is completed by someone else for the sake of the fans.
The new author may have been close to the original one or even helped with the work while the original author was alive, or just working off some discovered notes on what the original author had planned, but what's important is that the work has to have already been started by the original author before their passing; it doesn't count if someone just creates a brand new work using the dead author's characters or universe.

The The Silmarillion example is parodied in Robot Chicken, where Masterpiece Theater premiers a sequel to The Lord of the Rings based on J. R. R. Tolkien's notes and completed by his six-year-old grandson, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jr., Jr.. It introduces Hannah Montana, has Gandalf, Merry, and Pippin flying in jets (and making the jet noises with their mouths), and the conflict is resolved when everyone gets bored of fighting and decides to sing the Muffin Man song instead.

Country singer Keith Whitley's posthumous tribute album, in addition to the usual famous stars' covers of songs (including "When You Say Nothing at All" being Covered Up by Alison Krauss & Union Station) and never-released studio tracks, includes a duet with his widow Lorrie Morgan that fits this trope.
And taking it a step further, a DJ spliced the Alison Krauss version of "When You Say Nothing at All" with Keith Whitley's.

Several years after Christmas Duets, Elvis Presley released a "new" album in 2015, entitled If I Can Dream, which features his vocals from live performances edited with a new orchestral backing track. One of the cuts, "Fever", features a duet vocal from Michael Bublé. Another, "It's Now or Never", features vocals from classical crossover trio Il Volo.
Another such album called The Wonder of You was released in 2016. It featured a posthumous "duet" with Helene Fischer called "Just Pretend".
Since then, at least two orchestras have made a living off remixing various musicians' greatest hits with new orchestral arrangements, most notably the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. They've even been known to do this with still-living artists.
Bing Crosby's 2019 album Bing at Christmas does this, featuring new "collaborations" with Pentatonix, The Tenors, and The Puppini Sisters.

Before Robert L. May passed away in 1976, he wrote a third story starring Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer called Rudolph's Second Christmas note  Later known as Rudolph to The Rescue . May written manuscripts for the story in 1947 but decided not to publish it, instead he released Rudolph Shines Again in 1954. However, early version of the story was heard in a 1951 LP Record narrated by Paul Wing. "Rudolph's Second Christmas" wouldn't get published until Montgomery Ward and May's daughters discovered a manuscript of the story in 1991 and published the story in 1992. Due to Denver Gillen (the original illustrator) no longer being alive, Michael Emberley was brought in to illustrate the story. When it was renamed Rudolph to the Rescue in 2006 (to avoid confusion with the official sequel "Rudolph Shines Again" from 1954), it was illustrated by Lisa Papp.

Fellow Belgian comic book author Edgar P. Jacobs died while working on the second part of "Professor Sató's Three Formulae", the last volume of his Blake and Mortimer series. Unlike Hergé, however, he played the trope straight, having left plenty of notes and a complete outline of the story, which made it possible for another artist, Bob de Moor, to complete the story three years after Jacobs' deathnote The first part was published in 1977, the second completed in 1990; Jacobs died in 1987.. Because he suspected he wouldn't finish "Three Formulae", Jacobs left the copyright of the series relatively open so it would eventually have an ending, (leading to Olrik being Killed Off for Real). Which worked, but also led to new Blake and Mortimer adventures made by two different writer/artist teams. One team actively tries to ignore established canon. The other team was very good... but one of its members, René Sterne, died while working on the first volume of the dyptich The Curse of the Thirty Denarii. The volume was eventually finished by Sterne's girlfriend, Chantal de Spiegeleer, and the second part made by another artist.

The Miraculous Ladybug fic author Maerynn died in a car accident in February 2018, leaving a number of fics incomplete. However, they were mostly collaborations, and as of November 2018, one of them, Under Lock and Key , was completed by the other author (and illustrator) based on her notes. Another, The Other You, was finished in January 2021.

Similarly, RWBY became this after creator and showrunner Monty Oum died unexpectedly during the production of Volume 3. Oum had already finished a few scenes of that season before his death, however, as well as miscellaneous pieces of animation that would be used up until Volume 6. He was also very open about his plans for the series up through Volume 7, with writers Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross using those notes as a framework.

One Sesame Street segment is a remake of the song "I Don't Want to Live On the Moon" as a duet between Ernie (performed by Jim Henson) and Aaron Neville. The segment was recorded in 1993, three years after Henson passed away. The song used his original track and another puppeteer performed Ernie to Henson's vocals. Two other Sesame segments were later remade while keeping Henson's original vocals ("Rubber Duckie" and "La La La").

A.I.: Artificial Intelligence was started by Stanley Kubrick and finished by Steven Spielberg.
This is something of a special case due to its lengthy Troubled Production. Kubrick conceived the project, and seems to have gone back and forth on whether he would direct it or produce it while having Spielberg direct it. Ultimately, Spielberg directed the finished film, based closely on Kubrick's outline, after Kubrick's death.

An odd subversion is Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Jajouka, an album that was recorded by Brian Jones (The Rolling Stones) as a Solo Side Project but was unfinished when he suddenly died. As a result, this 1968 recording was only made available to the public in 1971. And even then it's not really a collaboration. It was merely produced by him, but doesn't feature him on vocals or instruments at all — it's actually just an album by the Master Musicians of Jajouka, a Moroccan folk group, with Jones' name tacked onto it for sales purposes.

Made in Heaven by Queen was planned in advance by Freddie Mercury to be completed after his death, as he didn't think he had enough time left to create whole songs (and he was sadly correct). He just did his parts and let the rest of the band finish them after he died.
In 2015, Stuart Leathem and Esther Trousdale produced the song "Little Freddie Goes To School" to benefit the Mercury Phoenix Trust, which has vocals sung by Trousdale and features Freddie Mercury's vocals within the chorus, Sampled Up from his Barcelona sessions. The song was re-released in 2021 to mark the 30th anniversary of Mercury's passing.

Although not nearly as many as Tupac yet, Ol' Dirty Bastard has also had a steady stream of posthumous guest appearances. And while it was released while he was still alive, the album The Trials and Tribulations of Russell Jones was made without his involvement while he was in jail: a cappellas from unfinished songs (or sometimes even previously released songs) were set to new beats, with many guest appearances filling in the gaps.

The Islands of Chaldea, begun by Diana Wynne Jones and finished by her sister Ursula Jones. Although a good chunk of the book was written, Diana characteristically didn't leave notes indicating how she wanted it to end, so Ursula had to scour the existing chapters for hints of foreshadowing.

While Anna Dewdney passed away in the fall of 2016 of brain cancer, the Easter book "Llama Llama Easter Egg" became one of Dewdney's last books that were completed during her lifetime. Previously unpublished Llama Llama books such as "Llama Llama Loves To Read" managed to get released two years after her passing. Future Llama Llama books (such as "Llama Llama ABC") would also get released years later using Dewdney's manuscript and JT Morrow as the new illustrator.

J Dilla died in 2006, leaving his third solo album The Shining only 75% complete. He saw it coming and tasked beforehand his close collaborator Karriem Riggins to finish the album, which was released months after Dilla's death.
His collaboration with Snoop Dogg "Gangsta Boogie" on his album The Diary (slated to be released in 2002 but shelved; it was finally released in 2016) also counts, as Dilla wanted Snoop to collaborate with him on the song, but Snoop's verse was recorded long after Dilla's passing.
Speaking of The Diary, Nas' verse on "The Sickness" was also recorded way after Dilla's death.
Since this is Dilla we're talking about, he appears in tons of others artists' albums way after his death. Highlights include his former group Slum Village's 2013 Villa Manifesto and 2016 YES! albums (both also features posthumous appearances of Baatin, another Slum Village member), his little brother Illa J's 2008 debut "Yancey Boys" (entirely produced by Dilla), and group Yancey Boys' (Illa J and Frank Nitt) Sunset Blvd. album (entirely produced by Dilla, again).

When Michael was alive, his 2001 recording Invincible featured posthumous vocals from other people: "Unbreakable" has a guest vocal from The Notorious B.I.G. (whose verse was taken from Shaquille O'Neal's "You Can't Stop the Reign"), and Rod Serling also made an appearance via audio from The Twilight Zone (1959).

The Mermaid Avenue albums by Billy Bragg and Wilco, which set old unpublished Woody Guthrie lyrics to new music.
Dropkick Murphys also set unpublished Guthrie lyrics to new music, first with "Gonna Be A Blackout Tonight", then with their Signature Song "I'm Shipping Up to Boston".

Voivod released two albums, Katorz and Infini, made up of songs played around guitar tracks recorded by long-time guitarist Dennis "Piggy" D'amour; the rest of the band's parts were recorded long after he died from colon cancer.

Parodied on Saturday Night Live in a sketch skewering Natalie Cole's duet with her deceased father Nat King Cole, showing Natalie (Ellen Cleghorne) singing other duets with other deceased stars, including Sammy Davis Jr. (Tim Meadows), Ethel Merman (Julia Sweeney), Judy Garland (Mike Myers), and both young (Rob Schneider) and old Elvis Presley (John Goodman), as well as Tammy Wynette (Melanie Hutsell), who was actually alive at the time the episode aired.

A rare example of a trope being prepared for well in advance occurs with Game of Thrones. In 2013, George R.R. Martin, author of the book series upon which it was based, indicated that he'd briefed the showrunners of the series regarding his planned ending of the novel cycle, in order to allow the producers to both plan ahead and also continue the story should Martin be unable to complete the novels so far this trope is Averted however.

Big L's second album, The Big Picture, was unfinished when he was shot down in 1999 and was completed by his manager Rich King before being released in 2000. Several songs were recorded after L's death, such as "Platinum Plus" (featuring Big Daddy Kane) and "Fall Back" (featuring Kool G Rap). There's also a posthumous Tupac Shakur verse on "Deadly Combination".

Titus Awakes, the fourth of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast novels, was incomplete at the author's death: only a single chapter had been completed and the rest was illegible due to Peake's advanced case of Parkinson's Disease. He did, however, leave behind a list of tropes he wanted to include in the next novel. His widow, Maeve Gilmore, completed the book, using the notes as a guide.

Legendary Doctor Who writer Robert Holmes died before he could finish writing "The Ultimate Foe", the finale to the season-long arc "The Trial of a Time Lord". The script for part one was completed by script editor Eric Saward, but his script for part two was rejected due to the possibility that its ambiguous ending would give the BBC the excuse it needed to cancel the show. As such, Pip and Jane Baker were called in to complete the story at the last minute.

Prior to his death, JewWario had been working on a miniseries based on his tokusatsu character, the FamiKamen Rider. After he died, MarzGurl and her husband Josh took it upon themselves to make sure Justin's character was remembered, eventually producing the full length Farewell, FamiKamen Rider, although they later came to regret it once Justin's sexual misconduct was revealed.

Before Edd Gould (the creator of Eddsworld) passed away after a long battle with cancer, he made it clear he didn't want the series to die with him. As such, his friends and fellow cast members continued the series with a new animator and a new voice for Edd's character.

Hellyeah, a supergroup including Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul, added a pre-recorded guitar track from the late Dimebag Darrell to their version of Phil Collins' "I Don't Care Anymore". Dimebag's guitar part was sourced from an unfinished recording session of Damageplan, the group he and Vinnie had formed after the breakup of Pantera.
