Completely agree with you

Yes, but "dying away" can't be used of an individual person and the infinitive of the verb is "to die", not "to dye".

"To die of: Use this when referring to the direct cause, such as cancer, or heart attack. To die from: Use when referring to an indirect agent. So - he died from exposure to radiation (and then the radiation produced cancer, which caused the death). The sheep died from the heat (which led to dehydration and so, death)." So some possibilties are: "He was dying of starvation/ starving to death / wasting away / slowly fading away"

"Dying from starvation" is a perfectly valid expessiion. Is there any reason for not using the word "dying"? Is this translation or some test piece you have been given?

It seems that the Asker is composing this himself. He does claim English as one of his target languages!

Nice pun, Barbara! (smile). It would be good to see a few sentences in English and what the Asker is really trying to say! Asker can we see a few sentences and particularly where this term you are enquiring about occurs?

Perhaps he was turning blue as he absorbed the indigo from his jeans, as an alternative to eating?

It sounds like one. And dying "away" is almost as odd as to dye (meaning death) Although dyes can kill so one can die from a dye.

To "die/dying away of starvation" is one thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starvation. The word "dye" is another meaning (you don't dye of starvation). More....

Yes, dye does fade sometimes.
