If any person upon whose life any estate or interest in property depends, remains without the United States or absents himself in the state or elsewhere for seven years together, such person must be accounted naturally dead in any action or special proceeding concerning any such property in which his death shall come in question unless sufficient proof be made in such case that he is living.
