The concept of the I'm dead buoy is it could be released to the surface manually or in the event that the sub turtles, and it would store the subs last location on it.

I'm assuming that the first thing that the crew would do if they were alive would be to automatically go into battery saving mode, shut everything non essential off, turn the heat down to the bare minimum and reduce the o2 content in the atmosphere to preserve air.

I doubt they have any of that equipment. This sub is made of home depot pipes for ballast and the guy bragged about using parts from RV world for things inside and they used a Logitech controller for piloting it. They don't even have a decent form of communication to the surface ship or a tether. Directions to the Titanic are relayed to them as a series of text messages from the rusty leased oilrig service boat they launch from.
