'He died on a Tuesday' means 'the day he died falls on a Tuesday.'

Let's say 'He died on Tuesday, 24 July 07', then it is correct to say that he died on a Tuesday.

Hope my explanation is clear enough.

If you omit the word 'a' (He died on Tuesday), that would mean 'last Tuesday'. Saying 'on a Tuesday' simply tells you that when he died, the day of the week was Tuesday. How long ago he died is not stated.

Yes, the sentence is correct.
