Napoleon was wounded in the ankle at the Battle of Ratisbon in 1809. What if the shot that wounded him IOTL had killed him instead?
 
No heirs at this point, so some kind of regency and continuation of the Napoleonic regime seems unlikely.
Maybe a would infection. Would be interesting what happens next. Maybe a Diadochi partition between his generals, family and major allies in and outside France. Otherwise a Bourbon Restauration or the reestablishment of a Republic ?
