ELI5: What happens to a person's debt when they are the last person of a family line and die?

So lets say you owe a huge amount of money and you die, and there is no one to pass on your legacy and both your parents and grandparents, etc. are dead, what happens to that debt?

It doesn't matter if you have family or not, debt cannot be inherited. If you do have debt when you die, your creditors can take from your estate to pay it off. If your estate is not large enough to pay the whole debt, the debt just goes away.
