Selva declared to me that he had been dead.

Explanation:

  • The person called Selva is conveying a message in the given sentence. The message is the information of someone's death. Selva is reporting about a person’s expiry to someone else in their own words.
  • Since death is always declared the reporting verb is 'declared '. The tense within quotes in the direct speech is 'simple past'.  
  • So in indirect speech it will become 'past perfect'. 'Had been ' is the past perfect form of 'was'.
