The former headteacher's last known location was around 150 miles west of the jungle city of Manaus, between the towns of Coari and Codajas.
A Foreign office spokesman said on Tuesday: "We are supporting the family of a British woman following her death in Brazil and are in contact with the Brazilian authorities."
