A Correct answer
Explanation

For a specific past time (the year 1616), we use the simple past tense 'died'. 'Has died' is present perfect tense and cannot be used with specific past time markers. 'Was died' is grammatically incorrect because 'die' is an intransitive verb and cannot be used in passive voice.
