Technically yes, but due to the dreamlike/nonlinear plot of the movie death is not always real. It’s complicated.

To add a correction, while the v*ming blood scene about 2hrs30mins into the film does occur, that is the only scene in the film where this occurs. The mother scene the other commentator mentioned actually occurs in Lynch's film Wild at Heart (also starring Laura Dern)

If unreality is a trigger for you this movie is NOT for you, I’m serious, this movie is one of the most fever-dream like films out there.

The entire movie is filmed on a lower quality camera and many scenes are filmed handheld by Lynch himself.
