China has admitted that a J-15 pilot was killed back in Apr. 27 this year. Zhang Chao was carrying out simulated carrier landings when he encountered trouble with the jet’s engines flight control system. He ejected from his stricken aircraft at the last minute and later died of his injuries.

Nothing in the original Chinese language source that is linked at the bottom of the page mentions anything related to engines. Instead it says “突发电传故障，推杆无效,” which seems to be a reference to the flight control system instead.
