Answer

Ruling: No, units with "when a unit dies" effects do not trigger when they themselves die. They would be in the trash when their effect would trigger, so they cannot trigger.

Nuances:

  • This game does not have "Last Known Information" (LKI) rules like some other TCGs such as Magic: The Gathering
  • Without LKI, cards cannot refer to their field text after they have moved to another zone
  • Even if multiple units die simultaneously (such as to Bullet Time), the units with "when a unit dies" effects will not trigger for themselves or other units that died at the same time

Does this answer look correct?
