Thank you.
Top answer
) in 2003, my grandfather had been dead for 2 years. PS: 2003 is a fuzzy point in time that could span days or months, so I don’t think it can be use together with 2 days, which is a precise and shorter duration.

You may mean "joined the company". I'm not sure.

This is the closest one to what you need, though no one can die for days. Dying is considered instantaneous. The other two are also impossible.
