Sorta. A bunch of people die in a claustrophobic way, but it's unclear if they die from being crushed or from something else. They're shown stuck in a tight space, and that shot is pretty intense, but it's over quickly and their deaths happen off screen.

Edit: other people are saying they do in fact get crushed and that their deaths are only barely off screen. This isn't something I noticed but I probably missed it, it's apparently very quick

Two major characters get their heads crushed in by Negans bat. It’s extremely graphic and one character is shown with one of his eyes protruding out of his skull. This scene starts at the end of the last episode of season six and stops around the 15 minute mark of the first episode of season seven.
