no comma. A comma divides 2 thoughts or more than one prepositional phrase. Though the sentence is grammatically incorrect-since 'surroundings' do not eat.

I say no comma. Everything in the second half is describing (modifying) the word die.

No comma.

If you add a comma, it will cause a break between the two clauses and it sounds awkward.
