relative clauses - Subject Omission

I have a complicated question to ask you.




I wrote a composition and there was a sentence like this:




[...] then he saw the brother he thought was dead




But then my teacher corrected me by adding he before the verb was, that is, according to her, the correct would be




[...] then he saw the brother he thought he was dead





She didn't explain me why, and another teacher of mine said it's because there are two clauses in this sentence... I didn't quite get it at ALL!



Please, help me.
