Yes! but as you see lots of people actually have had a "Dream" that they die, but most are watching in almost a 3rd person type scene or aware that they are "Dying" or have "Died". Your brain controls all the functions of your body, so if you actually fully die in your dream and your brain is not aware that you are actually alive in person, your brain will stop function and .... your dead .... it will stop sending all the signals to your organs.
You have to remember, that while dreaming your body cannot differentiate the difference between reality and the dream world (even if you are aware that you are dreaming! I know it sounds confusing). That's why if you have a really vivid dream you feel it as if it were real ( in emotion or in action ) it's only when you wake up when your brain regains the focus and re-adjusts itself becoming conscious that you were dreaming after all.

You have a couple hundred dreams per night, you probably "die" in 10% of them especially after watching any action movies and end up reenacting a movie in your dreams. You can't die from dreaming, don't believe that bullshit. Your logical brain shuts down at night so you can't actually die, if you do suffer a trauma/ get a freight in a dream your body will wake up, that's where the cliche "i felt like i was falling off my bed" thing comes from.
It's also why in inception they wake up the second their body hits water/falls, their mind realises somethings wrong and alerts the whole body causing it to wake up immediately
