Given the note at the end of the Funny Aneurism page, "Note: since all actors and creators are mortal, if someone mentions death or plays a character who dies, and then die themselves, that's not a "Funny Aneurysm" Moment unless there's some connection to the circumstances of the death"", I'd have to say Nope,not en example.

I believe the connection is that in the film, Spock, who had already died two films before, tells McCoy that a conversation about the experience of being dead wouldn't work because McCoy had never died, whereas in real life out of the two actors involved McCoy's ended up being the first to go. Would that be a good enough connection to qualify the example?

I think it's a stretch. I see what you mean; but in the movie they talk about being dead, and the "connection" would be the order they died, two different ideas.

That still clearly fails the "actors who have since died talking about death is not an example" rule.
