Yes.

In a AD&D campaign which Iran for several years, one of the main characters
in the world was a female paladin, follower of Odin The Allfather. In a 
typically heroic attempt to save a friend from falling into a large gapping
chasm when an earthquake suddenly split the ground before them, the paladin
fell over the edge - along with the hapless wizard who promptly Dimension
Doored out of there. The result of the fall and subsequent massive burial
was permanently fatal. Seeing as this warrior maiden had been particularly
outstanding in her devotion to Odin, The Allfather granted her the oppor-
tunity of becoming one of the Air Maidens under his direction. Needless to
say, the paladin accepted.                                
It so happened that her interest in her mortal friends was of such high
devotion that Odin saw fit send her forth to aide her fellow adventurers
every once in a while. Thus the character was - for all practical purposes -
dead. Yet, role-playing opportunities were not.
