Rulings
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.
