Destroyed objects don't exist anymore, so it'd always be null. If you want it to be the name of the object or something, then you could always put a script on the object that would be destroyed and do what you need in OnDisable().

So not super clear how everything works, but by how you're describing it you can use null to check.

 if(GetComponent<Image>() == null)
 {
 //Deleted?
 }

if its not a component but rather a object. Then set the object as a variable in start. Then do the same when you want to check if its destroyed check if that variable is null or not and then keep on going with the code.

 GameObject object;
 
 if(object == null)
 {
 //its null
 //destroyed?
 }
