Stupid question probably:

When a process is properly exited, exit is called in the Kernel.

When a process crashes, exit is not called.

Is there a specific syscall called when a process crash?

Are you sure that exit() in the kernel is not called? If this were not the case, we'd be leaking file entries, memory, and other resources.
