Absolutely, but then I'd imagine few things are worse for a warrior than dying peacefully in bed. Sure it's not a glorious death in combat, but at least he was on duty at the time:

Qu'Daj ta'taHvIS Hegh 'e' tul Hoch tlhIngan 
To die in the line of duty is the hope of every Klingon. TKW

To die while serving the Empire is the hope of every Klingon. TKW
