No, you don't draw a card.

First we need to understand what "Dies" means.

From the Comprehensive Rules (Ixalan (September 29, 2017))

700.4. The term dies means is put into a graveyard from the battlefield.

Then based on the rules for Leyline of the Void we have these to statements

-Leyline of the Void's second ability prevents cards from ever reaching your opponents' graveyards. Abilities that would trigger when those cards are put into an opponent's graveyard (such as Hoarding Dragon's last ability) won't trigger.

-Leyline of the Void's second ability doesn't affect token permanents that would be put into an opponent's graveyard from the battlefield. They'll be put into that graveyard as normal (causing any applicable triggered abilities to trigger), then they'll cease to exist.
