We know for a fact that the Hogwarts wards do not raise an alarm when they should, because they did not detect Draco being under a Blood-Cooling Charm. And we also know that Voldie had a better idea regarding those wards (whether he actually had said wards in place around Draco is debatable, but still, he had the idea).
So I think it’s extremely probable that the wards he has to detect his own death are more efficient than the Hogwarts wards, and he’s currently riding Bella’s body and kicking himself for once more not having just used Avada Kedavra.
Or he and Bella are kicking back on a beach in the Caribbean, drinking alcohol from coconuts and murdering anyone who plays loud music nearby or fails to clean up after their dogs.
The Blood-Cooling Charm was invented for the story specifically to offer a means of murder that didn’t set off the wards until the point of death; furthermore, if a professor (Quirrell) cast it, the wards wouldn’t trigger anyway.
Well, yes, but it had to be believable that Hermione had cast it, therefore we can assume that it would not have triggered the wards even if Quirrel had not cast it.
