Formal Ways: He/she is dead. He/she is deceased. He/she passed away. He/she is no longer with us. He/she is in a better place. Very colloquial and super informal ways to say it. Could be offensive if said in the wrong context. You probably wouldn't want to say these at a funeral, for example.: He/she kicked the bucket. He/she bit the dust.

The common way to say this is "He/She passed away." This is seen as a thoughtful and light way of saying someone has died.
