(2) The child died before reaching eighteen years of age and there is clear and convincing evidence that immediately before the child’s death, the parental rights of the parent could have been terminated under the laws of this State, other than this chapter, on the basis of nonsupport, abandonment, abuse, neglect, or other actions or inactions of the parent toward the child.
