If an opponent controls another players card with death triggered abilities and it is sent to the graveyard, who gets the use of them? The card owner because it goes their graveyard or the player who had control of it?
For example an opponent has control of my "Elenda, the Dusk Rose" with "Bribery" and she dies, who gets the tokens? My opponent or me?
Sorry if this has been answered already, I couldn't find anything.
Whoever controls the creature when it died gets the trigger. In this case, since Elendra dies under your opponent's control, they'll control the dies ability and they'll get the tokens, not you.

Note, that this applies to normal "dies" triggers, which trigger on the permanent being put into A graveyard. But there are a bunch of cards that trigger specifically for the permanent being put into your graveyard from the battlefield. Examples are Enigma Sphinx or Kithkin Mourncaller. Those will not trigger at all if an opponent controls them, since they never go to his graveyard but yours. And even though they go to your graveyard, because they are leaves-the-battlefield triggers, the game checks them for their triggers based on who controlled them before they died, which means the "your" in those triggers refers to them. They would control the triggers but those never get to trigger for them. For the trigger condition, your graveyard is the same as exile or any other zone, that is not your opponent's graveyard.
