Presidential term starts automatically at noon January 20 (before that March 4).

In 2009 Obama wasn't formally sworn-in until like five minutes after noon, but he was already President.

So, to address OP, if President-elect dies one minute past noon, he was formally an incumbent President, even though he didn't take the oath.
