The U.S. Consulate located in a foreign country is ordinarily supposed  
to help U.S. Citizens having problems abroad where the Consulate is  
located.  So, I believe you would contact the U.S. Embassy where the  
person died. 
 
I don’t know if they would take specific steps to get you a death  
certificate- I assume every consulate's office is different depending  
on who is staffing it-  but they should certainly tell you where and  
how to go about getting it.
 
You should be able to google for the contact info for the embassy and  
consulates office abroad. If you can’t find it, I assume the U.S.  
State Department could help you find the contact info for the embassy.  
However, they probably won’t do more than that.
 
If you know exactly where this person died, you can search the  
internet to get this information directly.
