Rulings (2)
As long as you control it, you will get to draw two cards when the target creature goes to the graveyard, regardless of whether it died due to having 0 toughness or something else.
If the creature is no longer a creature at the time it goes to the graveyard, you will still draw two cards if you controlled it at that time.
