Died. Once you mention the time, it �s past simple. |

the key word here to determine the tense (past simple "died" BTW) is ago
don �t be confused by just as it is part of a phrase here and it has the meaning "only", not "recently" which would require the present perfect tense form. Sophia |

i think you should use "became dead" to me, it just sounds better. |
