and前后时态

It was first believed that he got lost in a storm and had died in the cold weather. 看过老师们的相关解答,and前后两个动词时态可以不一致,只要复合逻辑。 这里got lost 和had died是不是时态错了?应该是先迷失lost,然后死掉die,那不是应该had lost,died吗?

It was first believed that he got lost in a storm and had died in the cold weather.

这个句子出现了三个动词:believe, get, die。

believed 发生最晚,用了一般过去时。从意思上看,另外两个动作早于 believed 发生,应使用过去完成时:had got lost 和 had died。—— and 连接两个并列的动作,时态上不需要分先后,都用同一个时态即可。改为:

It was first believed that he had got lost in a storm and (had)died in the cold weather.
