Died is the simple predicate
A Chinese man is the complete subject

Explanation:

The subject is who/what the sentence is talking about. In this case, it is a Chinese man. The simple subject would be man, the complete subject includes the modifiers so it would be a Chinese man.

The predicate is what the subject is doing or what is being done to the subject. The simple predicate is just the verb; the complete predicate is everything that is after the complete subject.
