I have my son as a dependent and equivalent to spouse. He passed away on 1 March 2016. How do I report this?

I am so sorry for your loss.

There is no need to indicate on your return that your son passed away. The Amount for an Eligible Dependant is not a pro-rated amount. You can claim the credit for the entire year.
