WI: Washington dies at Duquense (1755)

I've been reading for a bit but a new poster - what would the effects be if Washington died during the Braddock expedition? Here's some of my questions:

1. Assuming everything else surrounding the Revolution go forward as OTL, who leads the army?
2. Could the Continental Army still win independence?
3. What would be the political aftermath, if the Americans still win independence? (in OTL, Washington is eventually elected President after the states form a more perfect union, and he establishes a limited executive and earlier turns down a Throne)
