The given sentence is not correct: It should probably read, "What did your last slave die from?", with no "d" on "die". The compound verb form is "did ... die", which was formally named the "intensive past tense" when I was young. In practice, it might as well be called the "interrogative past tense", since it is primarily used to ask questions by separating the two words of the compound verb. However, the tense is also used for emphasis with normal word order, as in, "The mistreated slave did die, even though his rescuers gave him the best medical treatment available."
Whatever the name of the tense, it is formed by combining the auxiliary verb "do", properly inflected for the tense to be intensified, in this instance "did" for the past tense, with the infinitive form of the verb to be intensified, not the past participle of that verb as in the given sentence.
Formal style would also call for the word order to be changed to "From what did your last slave die?", to avoid ending with a preposition.
