i think my father died: how do i confirm this?

Location: California, US. so, i have never met my father, but i have exchanged emails with my father for about a decade. my father is transgender, male to female, and i don’t know if my fathers name has been legally changed. i also do not know where my father was born or any of my fathers family members names. as of the last time i spoke with my father, my father lived in san diego, and may have lived there since birth. maybe not.
