Following Geni API POST message clears event location completely instead of just the specified location field:
https://www.geni.com/api/profile-<id>/update-basics?access_token=<accesstoken>&death[location][county]=&api_version=1
This can be worked around by specifying also one of the other location fields that should stay unchanged:
https://www.geni.com/api/profile-<id>/update-basics?access_token=<accesstoken>&death[location][county]=&api_version=1&death[location][city]=<city>
