From your script the reason your part.Play(); doesn't work is because there is no script to call it, your script ends at Destroy(this.gameObject);. You would either need to call it from another script or wait for it to play before destroying your game object. A very basic way to do this is:

 void OnTriggerEnter2D()
 {
     part.Play();
     StartCoroutine(KillPlayer());
 }

 IEnumerator KillPlayer()
 {
     yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);  //seconds being how long the particle plays for
     Destroy(this.gameObject);
 }
