句子必须以相同的动词时态构成。 所以,如果你说“dead”,你必须说"were”。 如果你说"die”,你必须说“will”。 除非这些是幽灵,否则句子应该是现在时。
A sentence must be constructed in the same verb tense. So, if you say "died", you must say "were". If you say "die" you must say "will". Unless these are ghosts, the sentence should be in the present tense.

I agree with Shafica. Your tenses don't make sense. You have to say:
When I die, will you be sad?
When I am dead, will you be sad?
When I died, were you sad? - A ghost or resurrected person can say this, but a live person can't.
When I was dead, were you sad? - A ghost or resurrected person can say this, but a live person can't.
