When the player collides with the checkpoint, just set alterable values within that object to the X and Y position of the player at that moment. Then, whenever the player dies, set the X and Y position of the player to those values. This means, of course, you'll have to store the start of the level in those values. This can be achieved by using:

Start of Frame/Player overlaps checkpoint
- Set Alterable Value A to X("hero")
- Set Alterable Value B to Y("hero")

Player dies
- Set X position of hero to Alterable Value A("hero")
- Set Y position of hero to Alterable Value B("hero")
