I am a native speaker!
"Stirb, du Narr!" (already given by a previous answerer) is the best translation in my opinion, if you want to preserve the exact meaning of the phrase
"Dummkopf, stirb!", "Stirb, Dummkopf!" and "Stirb, du Dummkopf!" are all similar and could be used. But I think "Dummkopf" is not equally accurate as "Narr". A "Dumkopf" has to be "Dumm" [=stupid], whereas an intelligent man can sometimes be a fool [Narr].
All expressions with "Sie" are using the plural for politeness. One could think of such expressions, but to me they sound very odd.
The expressions involving "täuschen" are wrong and probably obtained by using an online translation service.

The German pronunciation or translation is "Sterben Sie Sie Dummkopf" for "Die You Fool".

Stirb, Dummkopf!
This is the informal and more correct, I suppose.
Sterben Sie Dummkopf!
This is the formal version. I would go with the first, since if you're telling someone to die, you aren't really going to be formal about it.

Sterben Sie, Idiot!... but thats a formal version so I guess you'd want a more informal version...
Sterbst du, Idiot/Dummkopf

Why would you want to? You might not get the desire responce you're hoping for, after all- some Germans still believe in the old ways(Nazis).
