Hello,
Yes that WAS a parsing error, I noticed (someone reported similar
error in talk page of my bot a while ago), I fixed and I'm writing the
correcting bot, and because I have put some quality control units(!)
in my code, the death place has to be a geographical feature
(P107=618123) or doesn't have P107 which the latter happened here. So
I need to make my bot to be more precise.

I need to add, task of my bot is harvesting information from infoboxes
i.e. turning human-written data to machine-processable data, and this
bot is working in a very large scale (It has 5.3M edits) so It's not a
strange thing that bot makes some error

Best
