What happens when an attacker with Overpower dies while attacking the first patroller? Does the excess combat damage still cascade to an additional target?

It still deals damage to an additional unit, hero, or building. This damage happens at the same time as the damage it deals to the defender (and usually at the same time as the damage the defender deals to the unit with overpower).

@lionlotek

My guess is that Overpower happens simultaneously with your attack: meaning it will cascade despite death by Deathtouch or combat damage but it will not cascade if the defender has Swift Strike (unless the attacker also has Swift Strike). What do you think?

This is correct.

For the Swift Strike thing, if you attack my Glorious Ninja with 2 damage on it using your Centaur, your Centaur will not deal damage to anything. My Glorious Ninja will survive the attack.
