Paperwork Needed Showing Ex-Spouse Died?

[BillV 8-16-2004]

If an American man marries a Chinese woman whose prior husband died what will she need to have for the USCIS paperwork. I know when I married my wife I needed the Chinese/American translation showing she was legally divorced is this still necessary when a spouse died?
