In English we can't say
*He has died for a long time.
and it must be changed to
-He died a long time ago.
But can we say this?:
-She has left us for a few days.

Absolutely.
We can also say "He has been dead (for) a long time."

Thank you, Rusty.
For
-He has vanished/disappeared for a few days.
1. Is it correct English?
2.If no, must we correct it to
-He vanished/disappeared a few days ago.
