The latitude and longitude at the time of the death are on one of the pages from the ship's Official Log.  It's image 261 of a set of 470 images in FamilySearch Film # 008395641.  This link should go to the correct image:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSBJ-J36S-T?lang=en&i=260

If for some reason it doesn't, the second and third links in jonwarrn's reply number 7 above both link to that film and set of images.   In either case, from the image which comes up, just go to image 261.

Right clicking on google maps displays latitude and longitude, so by trying different positions it is possible to see roughly where the ship was.  South west of Lisbon, not west as I said yesterday.
