The correct answer is

died

The correct answer is died.

The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another action or point in the past. It is formed with "had" + past participle. Example: He had finished his work before his boss arrived. In the context of "Ten years have passed since...", we need the simple past event that marks the beginning of the ten-year duration.
