Best Answer

No, the verb 'to die' is intransitive because it cannot take a direct object. Typical uses of 'die' are: 'The patient died/is dying/was dying etc.' (all analysed as subject+verb, i.e S-V). 'The patient died last week' (analysed as subject+verb+adverbial, i.e S-V-A). Even in 'he died a terrible death' where 'died', appears to be transitive, it's actually intransitive because the phrase 'a terrible death' is an adverbial telling us the manner of the patient's death. Hope that helps.
