Dead spots? what do you mean? what is the smell like, is like decaying food or plants?
If it smells like rotten eggs, then it's dead spots in the sand. Please advise what the smell smells like.

The sand doesn't look deep enough in that photo for you to have dead spots. Do you have an ammonia problem? Amonia will cause the tank to smell and I could imagine it smelling piss like. lol
The last time my tank smelled was because plants that I had were rotting (it was the roots). It was horrible!
I'd do a water test and then a biggish water change and stir the sand a bit because it can't hurt.
