R = removed (not recovered) as a death affects R in the same manner as recovered; both removing and no longer infected or susceptible.

Yes, that's exactly how it's labeled in this model, see text:
"The SIR model calculates the values of Susceptible, Infected and Removed groups of population in a total population of N individuals. N = S + I + R."

and:
"Besides, the Removed section includes both the recovered (cured) and the dead patients."

The attached RAW file should facilitate things.
